Fat32 to NTFS Convert

[Jim Brown]

I have Partition Magic 8. Can I do the FAT32 to NTFS convert with that
and not have to worry about cluster sizes?

Windows XP can do it for you, you dont need to use Partition Magic.

Although Windows XP can do the conversion, it usually results in
512-byte clusters instead of the default 4K ones. This has a
negative effect on performance.

You'll want to double-check the Partition Magic 8 documentation,
but I've been told that it can perform the FAT32-NTFS conversion
without resorting to 512 Byte clusters.

And for those who have already used XP for the conversion, don't worry, I
have successfully used PM to convert those 512byte clusters to 4k after the
fact.
