Converting from FAT32 to NTFS is usually very successful and
you should not lose any programs or data. However, it is always
prudent to perform a backup of your critical data files, as a precautionary
measure, in the event something unforeseen happens. Of the many
systems I have performed a conversion, I've yet to encounter a problem.

Before converting, I would suggest performing a Disk Cleanup and
then Defrag your drive. Once the conversion is finished, Defrag
your drive once again. Be sure not to do anything with your computer
while the conversion to NTFS is under way.


If your read and follow the excellent advice
offered in the following article, you should
not have a problem converting your FAT32
drive to NTFS:
