File system conversion from Fat32 to NTFS

[Quang Huy]

I am using Windows XP with Fat32 file system. I would
like to use Folder encryption so I want to convert my
file system from fat32 to NTFS. Please tell me can I do
so and how can I do it.
Thank you very much.
Yours,
Quang Huy

REad up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.htm on how to do it without
ending up with undesirably small 512 byte clusters.

And when you get into encryption be warned and be *very* careful to back
up the encryption certificates. If you do not have them separate from
the machine and should need to reinstall the files will be totally
irretrievable
