Please lose the caps - it's shouting, extremely rude and makes your posts
incredibly hard to read. May I suggest you use the Help and Support for the
purpose for which it was intended? All the information you seek can be found
therein.

ROFL
"Incredibly" hard to read? Have you been to an Optometrist recently?
An even more rude and unhelpful response as usual. Guess that means you
don't know the answer.

Converting from FAT32 to NTFS is usually very successful and
you should not lose any programs or data. However, it is always
prudent to perform a backup of your critical data files, as a =
precautionary
measure, in the event something unforeseen happens. Of the many=20
systems I have performed a conversion, I've yet to encounter a problem.

Before converting, I would suggest performing a Disk Cleanup and
then Defrag your drive. Once the conversion is finished, Defrag
your drive once again. Be sure not to do anything with your computer=20
while the conversion to NTFS is under way.


If your read and follow the excellent advice
offered in the following article, you should
not have a problem converting your FAT32
drive to NTFS:

Greetings --

You can safely convert your hard drive to NTFS whenever desired.
As always when performing any serious changes, back up any important
data before proceeding, just in case. A little advance preparation is
also strongly recommended, so you can avoid any performance hits
caused by the default cluster size:

Also, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all caps, as
you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is considered
very rude by many people. More importantly, posting in all caps makes
the post very hard to read, reducing your chances of getting help.
