Switching over to NTFS from FAT32 running 2k

videobruce
I just got a 80GB drive and I think it would be best to finally go with NTFS, but all my other drives are FAT32 ( 3 more on 2 separate boxes both running 2k). No other changes other than removing a 20GB and replacing it with a 80GB.

Morning all. I just had a question on user management under Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I recently received a list of users on an Excel spreadsheet to input into my Active Directory but I've never done this before as I've created all my domain users from scratch from a list.

Question about XP SP1a

Admiral LSD
Whats the easiest way to tell whether an XP system is running Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 1a if both still have the MS JVM installed? The System Properties still say Service Pack 1 and the System Information tool shows both the SP1 machine and the SP1a machine as having the same version of XP.

Yet another Nero Question

ViolentGreen
Actually two questions. 1) Nero detects my Lite-On 52x24x52 as having a max write speed of 40x. I have burned at 52x before. Anyone know why? 2) I have used Nero to find the max speed of my cdr media but I can no longer find where this option is.
