Acer laptop

Have bought the above and works ok but fat32 etc. you know the rest so a reformat is required, no problem but as been desktop user for years don't know to much about battery managment,
If I reformat to ntfs will the windows power options be ok to use instead of the acer one as it comes with a load of other stuff that I don't need.
Cheers

No need to reformat to get to NTFS....

go to command prompt and type "convert"

it should begin a process then tell you to reboot, once it reboots it will convert the disk to NTFS from FAT32.

Thanks for the quick replies think I will reformat so it starts with one single partion all nice and clean, and try the windows power man. if no good can download acer one.
Thanks again
