NTFS or FAT32 on WD 8.4 gig with one partition and only Win2

I read at tweak3d that NTFS would be faster especially on large partitions. Is there any bad points if I convert my current FAT32 win2k to NTFS? Do any games or programs have problems with it? ------------------ Celeron 300a@464 on a Abit BH6 ...

You can't convert from NTFS to FAT32. There may be some third party program to do it but it is not part of NT or Win2k.
