Although NTFS is the "native" file system for Win2000/XP, it
is perfectly capable of running with FAT32.
To convert a FAT system to NTFS, open a Command Prompt
and type this command:
convert X: /fs:NTFS
where X: is the drive letter to be converted. The conversion
progress is safe but accidents do happen, hence it's a good
idea to back up your data first.
