I plan to do all my dvd operations (ripping/encoding/burning etc.) on the backup partition (D:) of my laptop. My laptop is an ACER (Aspire 3690 series). Both partitions (C:) & (D:) are FAT32. Since I only have recovery/backup cds for my OS, is it ok to format my (D:) partition into NTFS? Can I reformat both partitions into NTFS without any problems resulting from this scheme? Reason I ask is because I read in my XP manual or somewhere else I cant remember that in FAT32, if the amount of information stored on a partition formatted in FAT32 exceeds a certain size (again I forget what that size limit was) that corruption of files on that partition could occur. Since I don't want to incur corrupted files from having too many files on a FAT32 partition I want to format it into NTFS.
Thank you everyone.

I tried to edit my thread but cant as only the Title is allowed to be edited. I made a mistake, its the Indexing File service that causes the corruption (my apologies). But I do still want to reformat my D partition into NTFS and would also like to reformat my C partition as well into NTFS. Does anyone see any problems with this?
