ROTFL...

I didn't see the post was blank.

The question was if "journaling" is similar to "indexing" in the Windows XP NTFS file system.

No, it's not.

"Indexing" in NTFS means the same thing that it does in HFS+; it's a way of keeping tabs on files for search purposes. The properties which make an index useful for searches, though, make it useless -or even harmful- for journaling.

NTFS is a journaled filesystem, just as HFS+ can be. You don't hear as much abot it, because NTFS is always journaled; there is no "enabling" or "disabling" as there is in HFS+. Whether this is a Good Thing or a Bad Thing is up to debate.
