Convert an OS partition to NTFS?

J-Excel · 10-07-2003, 11:23 AM

I have Win2k on a FAT partition on drive C and WinXP on an NTFS partition on drive D. Is it possible to convert the Win2k partition to NTFS without messing things up? And if so, do I do it from Win2k or from WinXP?

I understant how to do the conversion. I just wan't sure it was OK to convert a partition that had an OS installed.

Yes, it is perfectly ok.... Regardless of what's on the partition.. OS, Apps, saved, data. It makes no difference..

Yeah, I've used that procedutre on quite a few XP machines at work here with no problem. (Somebody here made an image with FAT32 partitions

)
