Help FAT32 convert to NTFS

G

Guest

I have an Acer notebook and this has an 80 GB HD partitioned as 2 40GB. They
are also FAT32, I have tried to convert these to NTFS using CMD but I get the
following message "The current volume of the file system is FAT32.
Enter current volume label for drive C:

Anyone have any ideas on what the hell I am meant to do next please?

Yes,

It wants a drive label, like a name for the drive, type "vista" and press
enter.

Then it will work.

No, he have to type the current label. Look at a "dir" or a "label"
to te exists labelname and use it.

See this article, and pay attention to the part on realigning the partitions
before conversion.
