FAT32 to NTFS conversion

[dingo]

Hi guys,

I just converted my HD from FAT32 to NTFS but the damn computer is so slow now. When I startup (Windows XP) it takes forever to load compared to how it was before the conversion. Also when I try to encrypt or compress folders (the reason I did the conversion) the compter freezes and I'm forced to pull out the power and start it up again.
Any ideas on what is causing the problems and if BTFS is generally slower.

Thanks
