H'lo all.

I'm about to take the plunge into Win XP Pro. I've got 2 physical hard
drives. Drive 0 (30GB WD) is for system and progs, and drive 1 (40GB WD)
is for data, images, music, etc. The XP advisor indicated possible
problems with the SCSI card (Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI), but I'm not worried
about that. If need be I'll upgrade the card. There was also indication
of some software that may not work. Not worried about that either.

My question has to do with drive 1, the data drive. I will back up the 15
gigs to CD. Should I fdisk/format that drive to NTFS, or will XP handle
drives with 2 different file systems?

Thanks,

Tom Landon
