[MBZ] ot, converting from FAT32 to NTFS
Is there some utility out there somewhere that can convert fat32 drive to ntfs? I know XP will do it on a new install but I already have it installed and need to convert my drive over.

XP should be able to convert a drive after install. Thanks, Tom Hargrave 256-656-1924 www.kegkits.com -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] ot, converting from FAT32 to NTFS
Here is the syntax: To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. 2. At the command prompt, type CONVERT driveletter: /FS:NTFS. convert C: /FS:NTFS is the syntax to convert the c drive. 3. Convert.exe attempts to convert the partition to NTFS. While Convert is running, you WILL receive the following error message if you are converting the partition with the active OS: Convert cannot gain exclusive access to the driveletter:, so it cannot convert it now. Would you like to schedule it to be converted the next time the system restarts (Y/N)? (Type Y) You receive this error message under any of the following three conditions: If you run the CONVERT command while the current directory is on the drive that is to be converted (for example, if you type CONVERT F: /FS:NTFS at the F:\ prompt). To resolve this, either click Yes in the error message and then restart the computer, or change to a directory on another drive and retype the command.
