    Hi, all.

    I'm the proud and happy owner of a soon-to-be-delivered A8Jp. After removing Norton (seems to be the only bloatware loaded on), I want to convert the HDD to NTFS.

    Are there any thoughts on whether the HDD should be converted before or after updating the Windows OS (except for IE7, which I'm leaving out)? Just wondering

    Thanks.

    Thanks stamar. Figured either way would be OK. Just didn't know if one way or the other was more stable or quicker. I'll do the conversion first then take a 3-month trip to Hawaii (instead of a 4-month trip) while the patching gets done! :)
