"converting from FAT32 to NTFS

[ERNIEOSD]

Well I have gone to "my computer"
I have read the volume label on my "C" drive which is,
{DISK1PART01 (C}. I have entered it, "DISK1PART01",
when it asked for the volume label and it goes to the
next line with a blinking curser.
At that point I cannot access it, add to it or delete it.
How do I get it to accept it and change the drive to NTFS?

To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
Open Command Prompt.
In the command prompt window, type
convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the
ntfs format.

Notes

To open command prompt, click Start, point to Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.

NTFS?

.
I am sorry but I neglected to indicate in my question

that I had entered all of the information in "command
prompt". Following that, the problem is as stated above.

That is *probably* the wrong name. You will find the right one if you
give
VOL C: in the command prompt.
