Well, I have a WinME disc here...

Stunaep · **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2003, 06:06:13 am

I said... A non-NT system. One that has dos.

WinME is absolutely non NT. It's basically Win98 third edition or something...

funny how ntfs always has worked flawlessly for me. or, even better than fat32, since ntfs has built-in error correction, and also is generally faster.

I don't think he's having problems with the system.....just he's trying to play a game that's PRE-win98 ( Hell pre-win95 even I think)

FAT32 is no match for NTFS.

EDIT: I made a mistake:D now the post is right:D

I guess that depends on what you're using the disk for...

well, it all ended with a reformat anyway.

Now I have a 50 GB NTFS disk, with WinXP and a 10GB FAT32 disk with Win98.

Thank you all for help-

thats why you defrag in fail-safe mode OR
use power defrag.

The main problem with defragging is that you cannot do other things while going through the process. Also, the generic defragger than comes with Windows is crap; Norton's one is much better, although it has some problems too.

WOOHOO!!! After reformating another time, and installing PartitionMagic, everything works like a charm.

I created three partitions: 10GB NTFS, 10GB FAT32, 40GB NTFS.

Installed WinXP on the 10GB NTFS partition and Win98 on the 10GB partition, left the 40GB one for data.

*goes to happy place*

Hey no problem. If you need that disk, I can e-mail it to ya. By the way, you may also need some tools in order to make partitions. Like Partition Magic.
