should i convert from fat32 to ntfs

[Poorav]

I have a win xp home edition laptop. The c drive is 7
Gigs and has fat32 filesystem. The d drive is ntfs. The
computer works fine, is there any advantage in converting
to ntfs from fat32? are there any risks? any typical
situations where i should convert?

Thanks
