Exactly. I don't believe you can convert a FAT32 partition to NTFS one the OS is already installed, not to mention the location of all of you registry keys and system files (System to System32) will be different, so your programs will not regonize that change.

Just because the disk says it's able to upgrade does not mean it will do it properly.[/quote:ee583]

I totally agree with Pest and Joe here.

I was just about to comment on changing from FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32 Bit) to NTFS (New Tech. File System) , because when you do this your computer will run a bit more smooth and you won't have to defragment so often (i haven't done that in like 3 months and everything still works very smooth).

Also to comment on the older DOS games, they do work with XP but you sometimes need to tweek/untweek to get things running (I got Monkey Island to work nicely biggrin: )
