Convert FAT32 on XP o NTSF

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to coverrt my C and D drives from FAT32 to NTSF on XP using the
following

CONVERT C:/FS:NTFS

But it is not working .... the message " conversion from FAT£" volume to
NTSF volume is not available" keeps popping up.

How can I convert my FAT32 to NTSF ?

Also if I can convert it will I loose all my current FAT32 files and is
there need to back up all my files and folders prior to do inf the conversion
? Cheers, I have been trying to convert my files over and over again but no
luck yet. I also checked out the threat about this too.

Not enough room on the drive?

It would help if you typed the command correctly

CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS

Note that there is a space between C: and /FS
