I got this book on Windows XP and I was skimming through
it and came across a section on converting FAT32 drives
into NTFS. Seeing as how NTFS is supposedley so much
better than FAT32, I tried to convert my drive (the only
drive on my computer, it has only 1 partition) to NTFS.
Here is what I've been typing into the Command prompt:
CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS /CvtArea:mtf.txt /X
The /FS:NTFS just means to convert the drive,
the /CvtArea deals with the Master File Table which I
have saved to the file mtf.txt (apparently, this is to
prevent the Master File Table from being screwed up
somehow), and the /X simply helps me skip a couple of
steps.
Since I'm trying this on my system disk, Windows needs to
reboot to attempt to convert the drive. So I restart and
Windows starts to check my disk, then it shows some
message about how it can't convert the drive. This error
message doesn't last but 1 second. Then Windows continues
to boot up and my disk hasn't been converted to NFTS.
Is there any way I can at least look at that error
message for longer than 1 second? Or does anybody have a
good suggestion to help me successfully convert my drive?
Please!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
