FAT repair partition: I agree, Spots. Sorry if my previous message was unclear: I'm not contemplating killing _all_ FAT partitions, even a rescue partition, for the reasons you've mentioned. I swear by partition magic, as well as their drive image. Haven't used the resource kit boot repair utility, tho I have used freeware that performs similar functions. I guess I'm wondering if there's any downside you experience whatsoever having all your non-repair partitions on NTFS. Also, Have you noticed any differences in performance? I've got a 11.5 G Maxtor en route, and think it would be a crime to format this baby FAT. Parting questions: Where do you keep your swap file? I understand that in this case, larger cluster sizes can be bigger, but I'm inclined to keep it on an NTFS partition anyway. Finally, have you tried any truly huge partitions with NTFS (>4 GB?) If so, any problems? Thanks, Dave
