Re: Changing file sysytem from fat32 to nrfs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



When I run the "convert" command, I get the line "The type of the file
system is FAT32." and then it crashes, bringing up the invitation to
send an error report to Microsoft. I can't find mention of this
problem on the net. Anybody got any ideas for a workaround?

I haven't tried re-installing convert.exe, or running it from a
virtual machine I have (not fully working yet).

Can this be done without losing data?

In most cases, yes.

You can safelyconvertyour current hard drive to NTFS whenever
desired, without having to format the partition and reinstall
everything. As always when performing any serious changes, back up any
important data before proceeding, just in case. A little advance
preparation is also strongly recommended, so you can avoid any
performance hits caused by the default cluster size:
