I always make sure that my C: (win2k) is on FAT32. I know there is a slight difference in performance, but it's got its advantages as well. It happened once to me that my Windows was really messed up and I could not access my C: anymore... all I could do was format the drive. So there went all my documents and stuff.

With FAT32 I'm abled to access my harddisk from DOS. OK nowadays I've got a NTFS bootdisk... but I still hang on to FAT32!
