Running games on NTFS

This is a discussion about Running games on NTFS in the Windows Games category; I currently have my HDD partitioned into a C: drive (FAT32) and D: drive (NTFS).

I currently have my HDD partitioned into a C: drive (FAT32) and D: drive (NTFS). Currently all games are in subfolders of c:\games. I wish to convert the whole HDD to NTFS. Will I have any problems running games or should I stick to FAT32? Typical games currently running are Elite Force, Star Wars Racer, Quake III, Worms 2, Rogue Squadron, Phantom Menace, Tachyon.

I am using W2K SP2.

Any help would be appreciated.

They should all be fine. Both of my disks are NTFS, and all my games play flawlessly.

Make a backup of any important stuff first, just incase the conversion process goes awry.
