I am wondering if anyone can help me. Under my system
performance tab it says my Drive C: is running under ms-
dos compatibility mode file system,and it says this is
reducing performance. Can anyone e-mail me a solution to
change this setting or offer an explanation on why this
has occurred. My hard drive(C) was swapped out by Dell
because my old one went bad.I'm wondering if this has
anything to do with it? The computer runs fine,but does
seem a little slower than it should be. Please
help......Thanks

Chances are that you'd never notice the difference in normal running,
although program-loading may be slower (and games may definitely run slow).

Look here for one possible explanation
