I have just converted my primary C: drive to NTFS using Partition Magic 8.0.The cluster size was automatically set to 4 kilobytes. The OS appears to be operating OK, although prior to this my computer seems to have been slowed down dramatically. Launching some programs seem to be taking ages to load. The recent Norton upgrade was listed as a possible culprit so I followed their advice on how to fix it. Didn't seem to help much. Some time soon I will restore a previous image and hope this corrects the slowdown.
Thanks, Alan Priol Yes there is Alan. What happens when you convert from FAT32 to NTFS in XP (and win2k as well) is that the cluster size is at 512 bytes which is far too small. Formatting to NTFS when you install sets the cluster size to 4 kilobytes. Having a cluster size of 512b is very taxing to the system primarily. I think you can adjust cluster sizes with Partition Magic from Power Quest. Peter Kaulback ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
