Basically, yes, NTFS is very secure and if security is high on your list of needs, you probably should convert.
Since you have made the move from WinMe to XP-Pro, I assume you are not using this computer for much in the way of gaming. Some users have been surprised to find that their Win9x games would not load on WinNT/2000 platforms. Still others find that their favorite DOS games paly betteer or at least as well. There, isn't that as clear as mud? Is it a crap shoot? Oh yeah it is. Best advise on gaming, find the shareware version and see how it plays out in XP before commiting to a purchase. For older games? Flip a coin, maybe will, maybe won't.
If security is not an issue for you, but you want to maximize the disk space utilization on your system, NTFS still may be a good choice. The current 32 bit file system is adequate and stable.
Do the research and make your best educated decision.
Here is a good link that explains all about NTFS: http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/file/ntfs/ |
