re: Formatting to NTFS is preferable. Thursday, May 26, 2005 at 5:49 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Cam (4178 messages posted) XP OPERATING SYSTEM Both XP Home and XP Professional are based on the NT system. Therefore both can be formatted to NTFS, or FAT32 if you prefer. Neither will format drives over 32 Gb to FAT32. It is preferable NOT to use fdisk when setting up XP. Just use the XP CD instead with diskpart. You can also use the Recovery Console loaded from the CD to use Diskpart and the command: >format c: /fs:ntfs Mac WINDOWS SUPPORT  RAM Written in response to: re: Formatting to NTFS is preferable.
