It's also not advisable to convert back from NTFS to FAT32 on an active
Windows partition , (The drive yoru your operating system's installed on).
One other major advancement to the change of file system is that NTFS
supports larger drive capacitys.
If memory serves me correctly FAT32 supports only up to 120GB of hard drive
capacity. Although there was a rumoured fix for this.

Hi Ali,
In very simple terms, NTFS supports very much larger sizes of disk drive. It also supports much more in the way of security, enabling you to hide and share files and folders. It is also a more robust format, less prone to corruption.
There is a utility in XP to convert from FAT to NTFS, but not the other way round. That said, I believe programs like Partition Magic can do this.
