NTFS or FAT 32?!

i recently divided my 80 gb HD into 2 partitions of about 35 GB each i made my C:\ (partition with Windows XP on it) FAT 32 and my D:\ (wich i use mainly for storage of big files) NTFS. Now when i copy big files from one disk to another it goes rele slow

although my computer its self is fast. So, wich file system should i use FAT32 or NTFS?

NT file system is far more superior to FAT32 being a journaled file system. If you don't use Windows 9x then then you can definitely shift to NTFS.

ntfs is much better than fat 32 depending on what OS you are using.
XP-ntfs
9x-fat 32
morover it is much faster in ntfs.
even common applications like defragmenting is much faster
