Hi
Ntfs is faster and safer ,only problem is that machines prior to xp like windows millenium and 98 wont be able to access it as Ntfs can´t be accessed on a Fat32 machine but Fat can be accessed on a Ntfs one.
to convert it use Convert.exe ;http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214579/en-us

I really hope u installed XP with NTFS, it rox!
It doesn't care if u have another File System on C drive, but consider what the other guy said about Win98, ME, 2K and all that crap.... ups... sorry...
