    *ahem*

    In Windows XP, "Find Fast" in Office XP just hooks in the indexing service of windows. If that's off, Find Fast is off.

      Of course the differance of defraging could have been due to differnet drives or different partition sizes.

        No !

        First I had FAT32 on my boot partition and used Diskeeper 7.0 and SpeedDisk on it ==> SLOW

        Then after a while I wanted to try NTFS.So in a command promt i wrote "convert c: /FS:NTFS" and win XP converted the FAT32 to NTFS and that was that.

        Then ,after tweaking the NTFS filesystem, I ran Diskeeper and Speeddisk on the same partition ===> WAY FASTER

        However ....

        I also converted my D: and E: partitions to NTFS and did some DVD ripping to test the speed of NTFS.
        It would appear that NTFS (on my system) can't deliver the same amount of sustained disktransfer as FAT32 can.
        This was particular clear when using DVD2AVI to prepare the ripped DVD for audio processing and frameserving with VirtualDub !

        So now ..

        the only partiton I have wich uses NTFS is my boot partition which was previously using FAT32.
