Upgraded to XP pro from WinME,how do I go about changing from fat32 to NTFS.Do I have to start over again or is there an easy way to do it without losing everything?

Thanks

Hiya!

Well I know for sure that there was a program for this i Windows 2000 and that it worked. But and this is a really big BUT!!!

I used it on my SCSI HD (3.2GB) and all was fine. But later on it started bugging out so i used partition magic have a look. And I got some really weird numbers... It said that it was 3 different partitions:

1: was a 400GB partition of unknown type
2: was 128 TB ( thats right folks Terra Bytes) of unpartitioned space
3: a 3.2 GB NTFS (the one i used) I couldn't forat the drive anymore after the change and it just became really cracked up...

This drive is retired now

Maby others had this kind of trouble and they decided not to put that progg. in with XP. That's all I can tell you...

Doh!

I just did this a few days ago, and now I cant remember the command

It was in the XP Help file and you enter it either in Run box or in Console Window (DOS) if you haven't found it by the time I get to a XP machine (later today) I will send you the code.

And No you dont loose anything, at least I never.

Update: Thanks to a Friend who remembered the command:

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

so to convert c: it would be

Code:

convert C: /fs:ntfs

This should work.
