Dos command?



A). My HD has the partitions C, D, E, F, G. C has NTFS file system and all others have FAT23.
My C drive has shrunk a lot and D, E, F, can sustain more data for some time more. The G drive has still 18GB free. I want to move about 10 GB from G to ultimately C.
So my problem is to first convert DEFG to NTFS by executing the following at the command prompt C:\>CONVERT [drive letter]: /FS:NTFS.
Since I do not know DOS, I typed
C:\>CONVERT G: /FS:NTFS
and I got ---the type of the file system is FAT32.Enter current volume label for drive G:
W+E shows me that my G drive is DISK1_VOL5(G:). My point is what will be the full command to be typed at C prompt that will not finally give me “Enter current volume label for drive G:”
Kindly guide me in detail what is the command so that I can convert the G drive to NTFS .
b). my aim is to pass-on 10 GB from G to F and then from F to E and then from D to C. There is a free program available at
< http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Ranish_Partition_Manager/ranish.html>
this program uses a command line interface and is intended for advanced users that are comfortable with DOS screens. Could any one help me to use this program please?
It is not necessary to use this very program, if any other free program is there kindly suggest.
Thanks for the help in advance.
