    How big of a fat32 HD partition can Win2k reconize?

    Also after 8GB you are actually using FAT32x which has lager 8k clusters instead of the normal 4k clusters you get with FAT32 on a 8GB or smaller partition.

    I just Replaced (Upgraded) the hard drive on my laptop, reinstalled my copy of WinXP using the same CD Key and I wasn't asked to activate like I was the first time I installed, so I guess MS recognized my machine and since only the hard drive changed no re-activation. :) Personal doesn't have...

    Windows XP Who here is going to buy it?

    I'll buy. No you wont have to pay for it every year. Think about XP This way, MS wants to migrate the entire 9x User base to the more solid NT/2000 kernel, saving them money by lowering the number of support calls. Two things they have to do to achieve this: 1 Make it more compatable than...

    Does Defrag always take sooo long?

    It also depends on if you leave the option checked to rearrange your programs for better performance. Leaving it checked greatly extends the time it takes to defrag since it also rearranges your programs based on how often you boot each app.

    NTFS for Win98. Anybody Use it? EXPERIANCES????

    I am using it, works nice, it allows you to access your NTFS partitions just as if they were FAT32. It lets you assign a drive letter for each NTFS partition so that your current drive letters don't get bumped. I have not noticed any performance degradation, although I am only using the read...

    Whistler Beta 1...should I install?

    Beta 1 is older, but still cool/fun to play with. I only have Intel machines, so I couldn't tell you how it runs on Athalon systems. I say if you have the time, install it dual boot with your Win98 system and upgrade to Beta2 when it is released on MSDN. I didn't keep beta 1 installed for long...
