Right now I am using win 98. That uses FAT 32 right? I am getting XP soon and that uses NTFS format right? Will this new format effect my harddrive? It is an older HD sortof 30GB 5400rpm. I am not really sure how these formats work anyway. I was planning on reformating my HD when I get XP anyway because it's full of junk. Is there something I must do when I reformat to make it NTFS or does XP do everything for me? Or do I have to worry about getting a new HDD that can support NTFS. Sorry if these questions seem stupid. but I don't really know much about OS formats.
Thanks
