I'd suggest using NTFS for the system volume- commonly known as the "C:
drive.". NTFS is a much better performer than FAT. If you need to move
files between the operating systems, make a small, 200MB-or-so FAT
partition. Or however large you want. Anyhow, I'd definitely avoid using
FAT on an NT system volume.
