Should I switch from FAT32 to NTFS in my 2000NT operating system? Thanks.

Is using FAT32 causing you any problems? If you don't need any of the extra features of NTFS (eg not having a 4GB filesize limit) then it's probably best left alone. There is always a small risk of something going wrong with a conversion, and if the FAT32 partition has not been prepared with NTFS compatability, an NTFS filesystem with 512-byte clusters may result, giving poor results.
In the past I've tended to set a drive up with a FAT32 partition and an NTFS one, to get the "best of both worlds".
