Hello Again,

Well, I have read some other posts on the topic, but now have another question regarding the first setup of NT.

1) Should I only create ONE partition at the beginning of NT 4.0 setup (leaving the rest of the drive unpartitioned), then increase the C: drive/ later using Disk Administrator from the Service pack? Or, should I create all the partitions I need from the get go, and then adjust them later?

2) What are your thoughts on using NTFS vs. FAT32 for Windows NT or Windows 2000. Any benefits or disadvantages (speed/performance/etc.)?

Thanks again for your help!

Regards,
Neal
