I got a couple of comments from readers who received a Gator pop-up dealie. There are few things I despise more than spyware installers, and this was not supposed to be running here. After learning about this, the powers-that-be were able to pinpoint the offending campaign where some weasel had slipped these in there, and it was killed. If this should happen again going forward, please be willing to drop an e-mail to me or a forum post about it so that the croc hunter can be sent after the offending reptile.

and am i correct in assuming that you're saying i can go from FAT32 => NTFS without losing the data on a drive??
temporary internet files?
thats odd... i wonder why my windows directories are so big..
Well, I did a little extra reading on NTFS this morning
hmmmm... well, actually i was watching TechTV and Leo gave a big lecture about how the structure of NTFS was more stable and whatnot, but he made it clear that it had slower access times than FAT32... he even specifically said that FAT32 was better for gamers. now i don't know what to believe. Leo is supposed to know his stuff, but you sound like you know what you're talking about as well.
here's a question: can you have FAT32 in one partition and NTFS in another? if so - would it cause any problems?
are you sure that only 9 gigs for your OS is enough? I use XP pro and my windows folder and documents and settings folder is 13 gigs
i like putting my OS on it's own partition so that if i need to reinstall the OS i only need to format one small section
so what is wrong with having 1 partition? i never understood why i'd need more than 1
1. also lets say i had more than one on my 80 gig drive and say i was running low on space and needed to install something that was 2 gigs. what if i had 1.5 gigs on each drive?
