Recently upgraded from W98 to XP Pro. File system is
FAT32. Won't let me convert to NTFS. The FORMAT option is
greyed out. 45% free space available (8.39/18.36 MB). How
do I convert?
 
You wont be able to convert like that. You'd need to do a complete fresh
install and select format to NTFS. You cant format a drive that has the
profile your currently using on it.
 
Kevin;
It is not necessary to reinstall to convert to NTFS, although that
will work.
Use Convert as stated in my other post to do it much quicker.
