Type convert /? at the command line to see the correct syntax and an explanation of what volume means.

When installing Windows and you wish to make a partition you have to enter
the partition size in mb's not gb's. This could be the same here. 250gb is
250000mb

It's asking for the *name* of the volume, not it's size. Usually, all
one need do is press <Enter> at this point, and the current volume is
converted, by default.

Convert doesn't want the size...
volume
Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume
name to convert to NTFS.

Convert does not refer to which partition by size, but rather volume. In
dos its called the label or name in plain english of that partition.
