Advice on NTFS or FAT32

[authenticate]

This may be an old question but maybe this is a different perspective. I have 2 hard drives. One contains an NTFS partition for XP and another NTFS partition for data. The 2nd drive contains a FAT32 partition again for data.
I run GHOST to perform complete backups saving the image files to the 2nd drive. However my version of Ghost can not save to NTFS partitions. Occassionally, I run out of space on the 2nd drive and I have to frantically move data around.

Would I be better off converting the NTFS data partition on the 1st drive to FAT32?
If I do this should I go all the way and convert all partitions to FAT32?
Would XP suffer as a result of this?
All advice welcome.

Running FAT32 removes the compatability issue with Ghost but will not save any space. The best solution is to get a 2nd drive that is big enough to accomodate the backups you need.

Switching everything to FAT32 would only allow you to backup to any partition.

Drive Image doesn't have any NTFS incompatabilities like Ghost.
