You should consider your reason for wanting NTFS. Security? Your floppy disc are probably FAT16, not FAT32, unless you purposely made them FAT32. THe normal format for floppy dos is FAT16. This is the most efficient use of the space especially for such a small storage device where you will be adding small files (<4K size). FAT16 uses much smaller sectors (about 512K). I recently used Disk Juggler software to check the read speed of my NTFS and FAT32 partitiion. I was surprised when the results showed the FAT32 was almost twice as fast as the NTFS partition, contrary to what I had been reading about file efficiency. Also, I don't notice a difference in any of this in actual usage because my transfers are usually small files, which don't take much time sending compared to the device it is being sent to (CDRW)to write them. If security is a factor, use NTFS; but only on your o/s partition. If not, I'd recommend staying with FAT32, especially in a multiple dos system (W98,Millen) and for your data partition. Your floppies should stay FAT16 regardless of which file system you use on your hdd. Tom B ------------------------------------ Where will you be in 100 years? If you don't know, I can tell you.
