Fat32 to NTFS conversion...

I know it's easy to do, but does anyone have a good resource or walkthrough?

Much obliged.

Yep Sandman is right, backup your shit if you haven't already and start anew and reformat selecting NTFS as your file system.

there are many issues in upgrading performace to stability it should only be done if you have software installed you cant find to reinstall or something like that.

One more point

You can convert FAT to NTFS

But you cannot convert back

The best part is that it's a brand new laptop...so reformatting is an easy option. but I'd like to avoid that if possible

It's a great laptop. the only drawback is the Fat32 structure

Thanks for the advice
