Hi to everyone. Just a curious question here. This is on a 3 year old emachine running XP. I just noticed that my C: is NTFS, where as my emachines recovery partition is Fat 32. Just wanted to know if this is normal. Thanks for any info, and for your time.

Regards
Ike

Just to add a bit. The recovery partition could be either FAT or NTFS. It just happens to be FAT on your system.
