The built in Windows XP Help and Support (on every properly functioning
system) will give you all the details you need. Look up the "convert"
application. Open a command prompt and type:
convert /?
But - as with any partition-wide utility - you are better off backing up
first. Things CAN go wrong (power could go off, could have a bad sector
undetected so far on the hard drive, whatever..)
