Thanks, everyone.
Marina,
Any idea if I'm required to reboot the server for the
changes to go through? It's because the server is actually
my RADIUS server. But if there isn't a choice, guess I
still have to do it. Thanks!
Depends on whether or not the convert command can gain exclusive access
to the drive. If you're trying to convert the drive which contains the
OS, then no, you'll need to reboot.
If you're using FAT on your RADIUS server then you've got a bigger
problem than just a simple reboot. You have pretty much zero security on
the box that is supposed to be authenticating you users.
Also, unless I'm missing something here, you can't use Disk Management
to convert, only to format. You can convert from the command line though
convert c: /fs:ntfs
