USE NTFS not FAT32. NTFS will allow you to reboot after a crash without having to do a scan disk. The default defrag software that comes with 2k/XP is a striped down version of Diskeeper. If you want some good stuff get Diskeeper 7.0 full version it has boot time defrag and set it and forget it defrag as well. As well as the interface is just alot better. also NTFS will defrag alot faster then fat32 and it is more stable.


CHKDSK is the NT version of scandisk diskeeper's boottime defrag will allow you to do a chkdsk on the harddrive during a boot up. Also NT just runs alot smoother on NTFS :(

    If you read the article you'd see he installed the Windows XP Home Edition. XP Home does not support NTFS. NTFS support is only included in Windows XP Professional. His only choice was to use fat32.
