Converting Filesystem trough VBScript not working

[shatztal]

The Script is in VBscript an should check if the filesystem is not NTFS, if
not it should convert it. this is what i have but the convert command does
not work .

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objWMIService2 = GetObject("winmgmts:" &
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Shutdown)}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk
where drivetype ='3'",,48)
Set colOperatingSystems = objWMIService2.ExecQuery("Select * from
Win32_OperatingSystem")
Set WShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

wscript.Echo "We Are making now changes"

for each objItem in colItems
' set objItem = colItems.item(0)
FS = objItem.Filesystem
if FS = "NTFS" then
msgbox "מחשבך מוכן לשימוש תקין"
else
Wscript.Echo "Non NTFS Files"
WShell.run "cmd.exe /k |echo y |convert c: /FS:NTFS /X"
msgbox "המחשב יתחיל ב×תחול בעוד ×¨×’×¢×™× ×¡×¤×•×¨×™×"
counter = 15
do while counter > 0
Wscript.echo counter
wscript.sleep 1000
counter = counter -1
loop
msgbox "המחשב מבצע ×תחול"
For Each objOperatingSystem in colOperatingSystems
objOperatingSystem.Reboot()
Next
end if
next

Some comments about your post:
- You should report what happens and what you see when you run the script.
- Having the statement "On error resume next" on top of the code is not a
good idea. It prevents you from seeing errors that might occur.
- The line
WShell.run "cmd.exe /k |echo y |convert c: /FS:NTFS /X"
should probably read
WShell.run "cmd.exe /k |echo y |convert " & objItem.DeviceID & " /FS:NTFS
/X"
- This is a Windows XP newsgroup. For involved scripts like this one, you
should post in a VB Scripting newsgroup.

Your "quotation marks" are not right and I'm not sure why you put the
echo command in there, this is all that you need:

cmd.exe /k convert c: /FS:NTFS /X

thanks all but what you said didn't help
the first Pipe line wasn't neccesseray
cmd echo y | convert c: /FS:NTFS /X
had done it good without PIPE.

echo y is neede cause you need to confirm the reboot when asked

That's not the only thing that is errant. That From: user name is errant.

errant.

Try clicking the user name and see what happens! I think it's a form of
spam!

So he's a spammer? Why are we even bothering with him, then.

The /k switch continues the command session so echo would not be
needed... but I see that you now decided to do away with the switch.
