WhiteWolf4 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command: C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfsWhere C: is a name of the drive you want to convert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nebuchadnezzar Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 What I need to know is though - by doing "convert c: /fs:ntfs" will this reformat your drive as NTFS or just convert it - according to WinXP Help and Support - it reformats with NTFS - but according to others - it just converts.I need to convert my FAT32 Boot Partition so that I can image it to a larger drive that is formatted NTFS.

il_wiccan Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 All that command will do is convert the file system....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
