| Hello. I am wondering is there some compatibility issue with two different file systems? If I have FAT32 as primary root partition and the second one, the greater one, formatted as NTFS, what bad can I expect? Is this going to slow down my computer? I never tried this before, I am attending to do so, and therefore I am just curious about that and nothing else. Thanks in advance. |

| Well, both of file systems were invented by Microsoft, and there are no problems with using of both file systems on a single hard drive. If you are using Windows 98 or Win ME with Windows XP using NTFS file system as secondary OS, the only thing you cant do is to copy a single file larger than 4 gigabytes form the NTFS file system to FAT32 file system. No need to afraid of performance degrading, because of difference. And, yes. Both partitions can work together without any problem. |
