    Just another one of my silly computer questions for the many knowledgable geeks on FR.I have several computers but only one running Windows XP.So far I'm mildly impressed with the stability of Windows XP home but not so happy with the finicky nature of it's NTFS file system.I have a couple of old DOS games that I like but XP running an NTFS file system will not let me install.I have the capability of reformatting the drive in FAT32 and reinstalling XP with that file system.What I'm wondering is will this help with backwards compatability for DOS based programs?
