I know that is strange kind of question.. but I find out.. at least that this is point where my system is crashing one time per two weeks... (previous time blue screens were faster than my eye.. i couldn't read it). This is new comuter set and maybe it isn't full tuned... but.. i am also interested on that file.. maybe it is problem of that file (this is own built-in file by Final Release (b.2600) - the same file is also in Win2k but earier verion). Please help... thanks

fastfat.sys is for the fast format of the fat32 file system for your harddrive when you go to install XP... It does not format the entire drive, just the boot sector, to tell the computer that you are using a full fat table.
