converting from FAT32 to NTFS is a one-way street. You can't go back without reinstalling Windows XP totally. Make sure you want to do it first. If you play a lot of 3D games you might not want to change.

NTFS has only one disadvantage. It might slow down your PC in some operations. The slowdown, when it does happen, isn't much of a hit, after all, NTFS is taking much better care of your files.

Main reason for NTFS is so you can allow share permissions down to file level

e.g you could force that a word document could be read only to person A, No access to person B, Read, write to person C etc.

Used more when more than one person will be sharing the machine and you want file security or on Networks.

As already mentioned it is meant to be slightly slower at gucci games
