NTFS question

[Jess]

Hi

After reading all the advantages of NTFS I now want to convert my existing
winxp fat32 drive. I gather I just type in from a command prompt something
like "C:\convert.exe /fs:ntfs" (without the quotes)

But this does give me the full ntfs system as I read somewhere that default
ntfs permissions are not applied......whatever that may be!!

Appreciate any advise?

Thanks

Jess

PS Yes I will be backing up my system with Ghost first.
