Hi
I have recently purchased a new Acer laptop complete with Win XP Pro with service pack 2. I have done all the updates and installed Office 2003 Pro and a few other programs. I noticed that the file system is FAT 32 which struck me as odd so I contacted Acer to ask why. The long and the short is they sent me a link to a Microsoft article on converting from FAT 32 to NTFS.
I haven’t done the conversion as yet as I wanted to get a picture from other people who may have done this as to whether there are any pitfalls to doing this and things I need to be aware of. I have read that some people would do this from say partion magic as opposed to the convert.exe in windows xp.
My disk is partioned into a C: and D: drive each being 35 Gb in size. Drive D: has hardly anything on it. Drive C: where everything is installed.
I’m applying the ” If it ain’t broke don’t fix it rule” at the moment until I hear from those in the know that yes it’s ok to do. More importantly would I be advised to do the D: first and then the C:
Any help and comments for this would be most welcome.
Regards
Chris
