View Full Version : converting to NTFS and entry method for entering commands

I would like to convert from FAT32 to NTFS following the
instructions on pages 102 through 107 of Microsoft
Windwos XP Power Toolkit and pages 824 through 825 of
Microsoft Windows Inside Out inorder to obtain the
benefits of NTFS and in particular to add a 2nd (slave)
drive of 120gb to my current 30gb drive.
My problem is that I do not know how to enter the rlevant
commands (fsutil and convert). In the command Prompt
window am I supposed to enter the commands immediately
after the entry c:|Documents and Settings\axel> which
appears each time I open the command prompt window and if
so should I enter each seperately and then hit the enter
key or should I enter them one after another on the same
line. NB I know nothing about the syntax etc of dos
commands so I need to know the exact mehod of entry etc.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Regards. Axel.
