System Restore Setup

While running MS Baseline Security Analyzer, it says my drive E is FAT32 and
should be reformatted to NTFS. When Medion setup this computer they made
drive E the system restore drive, all the restore point files are on this
drive by date it appears. Is there a way to safely remove this restore data
and then attempt to reformat the drive to NTFS and restore the restore data.
I can find nothing that tells me how the data is even pointed to this drive
unless it is the registry some where.
 
Hi,

If that is your system recovery partition, and I suspect it is, just leave
it alone and ignore the MBSA. It always points out any FAT32 volumes. You
don't want to use FAT32 volumes for network sharing, but there is no harm in
having them on the local system.

While we're on the subject where is this recovery partition defined, all I
can see is the amount of HDD that each partition is allowed to consume for
recovery but the actual definition as to what partition actually holds the
recovery info is not obvious (to me anyway). Thanx for your reply to the
first question. Have a great day!
