    I have 3 FAT32's just for compatibilities sake and two NTFS, they would have been fat 32 normally but for the size limitations of the format... i prefer to use FAT 32 for the backward compatibility.

    Quick question: it's been fine so far, but I have a partition set aside for the swapfile for both OS's of my 98SE/XP duel-boot. So the virtual memory is set the same and on the same partition for both OS's. Is that an exceptable setup? Especially since I also use that partition as a sort of garbage dump where the temps and internet temps go.

    the whole idea is that I have music files in a ntfs drive and I want win98 with some progs that run only in win98 (and not xp compatible) to access the files. But I think Ill search for xp compatible software
    thanks for your time

    Nope. FAT16 is fastest. FAT32 is next. NTFS is in dead last due to overhead.
