I agree. NTFS and FAT32 should coexist without trouble, within the limits Jeff (the other Jeff) indicated in his reply. I have experienced the heat problem myself. If monitoring shows consistently high temps - see <http://139.95.253.213/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=13,E=000000000001197393 3,K=7355,Sxi=2,Case=obj(3737)> for an indication of what constitutes high - Consider getting a GOOD heatsink+fan combination. Remember that because seti keeps the processor at 100% load, it will run as hot as your cooling solution permits, and that the Athlon has no thermal protection. There is risk here as your chip may eventually fail if it is consistently running too hot.

Your problem is probably heat, instal MBM to watch it and see how hot it may get. Mine takes almost 4 hours on average lately. Do a search on the web for mbm and you should find one that can do it. Are you overclocked, have you changed voltages etc.? I am running the FOP38 fan on the processor and find that it works well. Understood about the backup situation, I am running NTFS as well with no problem, but you can not read an ntfs drive from DOS. You can back up to FAT32 but it has a 4GB file size limit. that can be a gotcha if you use the back up utility included with Win 2K or XP. Good luck.
