Convert FAT/FAT32 to NTFS
1) Back-up files
Start>My Computer>Right click hd you want, then click Properties on short cut menu.
In the Properties box for the disk (note the file system which will be FAT,FAT32 or NTFS.
If the file system is listed as either FAT or FAT32, make a note of the volume label, shown in a box next to a disk drive icon at the top of the General tab.
Now lets convert them to NTFS.........
Start>All Programs>Accessories>click command prompt.
In the Command prompt type...."convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs" replacing 'drive_letter' with the letter of HD you want to convert. eg...... convert d:/fs:ntfs
Hit enter
Type the volume label THAT YOU NOTED to confirm you want to convert the drive. Hit enter.
Just in case.........If you change your mind about this, press Ctrl+C then type exit
Hope it helps
