hi all,
how do i change my drives to ntfs without losing the info on the drives, got 60 gigs split into 10 gig parts 2 of em are fat 32 rest are ntfs xp is on ntfs
Im sure I read somewhere sometime that if you convert a fat32 system to ntfs it causes a serious slowdown. Its far better to a clean install using the ntfs filesystem.
I've converted the fat filesystem to ntfs and didn't notice a slowdown. In fact it greatly increased speeds for me. Just back up your files like I should have (I didn't need to in the end though).
There is no reason not to convert - there will be NO slowdown (where did that come from?) and you need not back up anything first. It's a simple straightforward process. Just type:
CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS
in the command line (or substitute the C: with whatever partition is being converted) and press ENTER.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
