HI... I recently bought a new PC, it seems to have been
set up with a old off-the-shelf HDD in the FAT32 format,
and for security I want to convert it to NTFS, I have
read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;307286 but it does not say if I can convert the main
system (boot) drive (I don't have a secondary HDD) to
NTFS without loosing any data, (it's OEM and I don't have
a windows back-up disk).. I'm worried that if I do
a "Convert C:/FS:NTFS" command as the help file
suggests... I'll loose all data and end up with an
expensive blank screen, without a disk to repair the
damage...
