[access-uk] FAT32 and NTFS on same system

When my Toshiba laptop (XP Pro) was originally set up for me,  the c 
partition was made smaller than I would like and although I have plenty of 
space in other partitions I have to watch the free space on C: very carefully.  
 
one thing I do occasionally is to move any $NTuninstall items from 
c:\Windows onto another partition, to free up space.  I did this today but 
after moving over 300 mb, the free space on the partition is shown as being 
unchanged, which seems very odd.  

Two other things about this c partition surprrise me.  For some reason, it is 
using FAT32 whilst the other two are NTFS.   Also the Defragmenter 
analysis has for a long time reported "The partition does not need to be 
defragmented", yet the other two have to be defragmented fairly frequently.

I am concerned that the FAT32 is at the root of my odd situation, but would 
be grateful for any comments or suggestions.

Many thanks,


Douglas
