Logic/WinXP and Fat32 have a latency problem wich seemes to be confirmed by Emagic. Is this something that is going to be fixed or are we going to stick with it? I have a lot of Fat32 harddisks with finnished CD's on them. Will they work fine if I just move the songs to a NTFS drive? -- Arvid Solvang http://www.viagram.no/

Yes, you can either copy them across to ntfs or convert fat 32 to ntfs. The only disadvantages to converting are compatability issues (95/98/mac?) and an increase in the amount of time needed to defrag It works v.well on ntfs see here... http://www.aumha.org/a/ntfs.php Cheers EW.

Why do you use FAT32 with Win XP? It is so quick and easy to just convert your HD's to NTFS... Further more, it is never adviced to mix Fat32 with NTFS regardless of Logic anyhow. Are you running multiple systems?

First of all - FAT32 is a fully supported filesystem for WinXP and I use it on all drives. I have lots of harddisks in trays that are Fat32. I also use Paris wich doesn't work on WinXP so I have WinME also on my machine. Absolutely all other software I had on my StudioPC worked fine with Fat32 - only Logic had trouble with it. To me that means that Emagic haven't gotten their WinXP support right yet. What else doesn't work....? I'm back on ME. -- Arvid Solvang http://www.viagram.no/

I have a FAT32 SCSI and a FAT32 IDE they both had pops & clicks due to latency that I thought was attributed to the crappy first issue FIRESTATION drivers. Does the LUG think it's because of FAT32?
