trying to USE CONVERT drive: /FS:NTFS on XP home

I've been trying this and it won't work, I am the Admin. no other
accounts.
Comes up with error. Got this staight from google search. Recieved no prompt
about this happening after reboot either. So what am I doing wrong?

C:\>CONVERT C:/FS:NTFS
Delphi Form Conversion Utility Version 5.0
Copyright (c) 1995,99 Inprise Corporation
No files found matching C:/FS:NTFS.

Try this..

CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS

There should be a space between C: and the rest of the statement..

You need to find the Windows convert command, not this strange Delphi
one.

Look in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 and execute that one

anytime, which was it - getting the command right or getting the
location right?

I saw your post about getting it to work, but I was unsure if it was the
location or the spelling that fixed it for you.

As the OP typed the line originally, there was not a hope in hell of it
working..

Thanks - I thought he said he tried all sorts of combinations. I don't
recall seeing the Delphi text when I run convert....

My guess would be that Delphi installed itself into the PATH, and its CONVERT utility was being invoked first. Having the user invoke the Windows version is what resolved it.

C:\>CONVERT C:/FS:NTFS
Delphi Form Conversion Utility Version 5.0
Copyright (c) 1995,99 Inprise Corporation
No files found matching C:/FS:NTFS.

The format of the command line didn't make any difference as it was executing a command convert a Delphi database (guess).
