convert from 32 to NTFS
How do I convert the file system? Win XP Pro now running on Fat32. I want to convert to NTFS. How is it done?

You would have to reformat.. so that may be something to consider. Besides that, I am unsure. I always format mine to a linux File system then put in my XP cd to format it back to NTFS... but I also walk all the way up the stream to get to thr bridge instead of getting my feet wet... So there is probably a better and much shorter way

Nah.. you don't have to reformat. Simply open a command window, Start > Run > CMD and type
Convert c: /fs:ntfs this will then ask you are you sure y/n and then when you reboot it converts it to NTFS, it cannot be converted back. Good luck. |

Thanks Wheels,
Does the good luck at the end of your message indicate that it is risky? Alan |

Wow... really? And to think... Ok well I guess I have never used FAT32, but if I did... this would have saved me a lot of time
