Convert a FAT32 File System to NTFS in Windows XP



1. Back up any important data on your computer. This is not mandatory, since no formatting takes place and the conversion process is nearly flawless, but it's best to play it safe.

2. Click on Start.

3. Type CMD and press enter to open the Command prompt.

4. Type VOL C: and press enter. This will display your hard drive's label (if applicable) and serial number. Take note of these, as you will need them to convert the drive.

5. Type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press enter.

6. Enter the requested information that you retained from above.



7. Confirm that you wish to convert your drive by entering "Y" accordingly.
