2 Questions: Which of these OS should I delete to install XP, and NTFS or FAT32

[bigrash]

I'm about to install XP. I now have a three partition of win2k, winme and caldera installed. i wanna leave caldera as is, but i need to remove either win2k or winme to install winxp. Which one should i delete?
I want to remove winme, but the thing is that i play games and i realize that I'll have trouble with some of these games with win2k and winxp.

also, previously i had both 2k and me under fat32, because i can interchange files that way. Since, i'm gonna do a clean install, would you recommend installing both under ntfs or fat32?

anyone?

i would get rid on winme anyway. what do you need that for? when it comes to gaming, win2k w/ SP2 is just fine.

WinXP should take over Win2k. But maybe you should leave it for now.

FAQ: FAT32 vs NTFS.

That should answer your question as to which file system to go with.

thanks everyone for their help.


hey Andy, thanks for the link. That's a nice article you wrote there. The only thing is that, I guess the article referres to pre-XP time, so where you mention dual boot you don't mention XP much. Would you recommend XP and 2K dual boot with FAT32 or NTFS?

 

[AndyHui]

To all intents and purposes, XP is effectively the same OS as Win2K. Whatever recommendations I make in that article for Win2K apply to WinXP as well.
