Convert a partition from FAT to NTFS
When your Windows XP system uses the FAT32 filestructure u can come to the problem that your beautiful harddisk of 240 Gb is shown in the Windows Explorer as a 30 Gb harddisk.
The solution for this problemn is a conversion of the partition to the NTFS filestructure. To do this you go to the commandprompt (Start->Run->cmd) and execute the following command:
convert <disk>: /fs:ntfs
To complete the conversion Windows needs a exclusive access to the partition, when that is not possible, Windows suggests a restart of your system, during the start of the system the conversion will be completed.
