For some reason my laptop (HP Omnibook) came with preinstalled W2k, and 
there is really FAT32 enabled, not NTFS...

Only reason to use FAT32 is to preserve few bytes of memory or let disk 
data be accessible from some other system than NT/W2k/XP.

But for performance reasons it would really be reasonable to use ntfs...
