FAT32 v NTFS
My Laptop with XP home edition on it was installed with FAT32. Having read various blurb (not just the MS hype) I decide to convert it to NTFS (which I know is irreversible without reformatting). Having carried out speed tests on PC PITSTOP and a few others, the hard drive access time is about one quarter that using FAT32 !!! and the conversion set a unit allocation size of 512, not the default of 4096 for the hard drive size. Is there any way I can change the allocation size without reformatting in the hope it will give better speed ? Otherwise, I'll reformat and go back to FAT32
