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:

There will be no "cluster problems" if the website I referenced
is followed.
