Fat32 & ntfs

I have a 100 gig HDD that is partioned into 2 equal parts. One part (C) is NTFS and the other (D) is FAT32. Is there a way to make 'D' drive NTFS also without having to go through the re-formatting process? Is it possible to change the file system without creating too much chaos? Thanks!!

 

I would think youd have to reformat to change the file system like that. People here(Halo) always seem to come up with something crazy though, so maybe wait for others to come by and see if they have any other ideas.

 

Thanks King! At this point I'm willing to try something crazy if it would mean NOT having to re-format:cry

 

X-posted with Halo

It's been possible since XP (pre SP1 was very buggy though), see the MS article for XP.

 

:-D see what i mean stubby?? who thinks of stuff like this??

 

You're right King, ONLY Halo could come up with that!!roflmao However, just one question, I'm still running Win2000Pro (SP4), will your idea still work? I know, I know, I need to come out of the 'stone age,' but I've never had a problem with Win2000. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!:-D

 

Well, I'll give it a try after I make my son some supper! Now, if it doesn't work, to whom shall I send the bill in case I fry my HDD:confusedroflmao

 

*runs away and hides*

:-D

 

Stubby, if it turns bad, I have an already fornatted 80GB Seagate that you are welcome to.
And my 2000 Pro is doing very well on my twins.Upgraded to SP4.All Windows Updates.

 

Please stand aside Hrlow2, I don't want to spill innocent blood! I'm hunting for King Steve and Halohttp://bestsmileys.com/angry1/25.gif:gunsroflmao IT WORKED! Seriously, I followed your instructions and it worked like a charm, thanks Halo It only took about 2 minutes for the conversion. Thanks Hrlow2 for the offer of the HDD, but it looks like I won't be needing it after all I'm glad that Win2000 is working out great for ya, but I was wondering there for awhile. Well Halo, it looks like you have another satisfied customer

 

Congratulations,Stubby.(sliding off to the side)
