converting file systems (FAT32 to NTFS)
People who still have FAT32, usaly have 2 or more operating systems running on their computer. An example of that is like runnging OS x over Windows 95 or XP. Stuff like that. On one of my lap tops, I have Linux, Unix, and OS x running on one HD. The OS x runs really really slow thought...I hardly ever use it. Any way. For people who are conncerned about converting their FAT32 File System to NTFS (Windows NT File System...Get it?) you should go ahead and click START, then open up 'RUN' and type in 'COMMAND'. When you type that in it should open up you MS-DOS Command prompt. From there, type in...'convert C:/fs:ntfs'
It will walk you through the whole prosses, and guide you around.

If you were interested in this Post, I hope it has helped you. If my command prompt is wrong please let me know. Thanks...Mike...

ntfsfix

NTFSFIX(8)						      System Manager's Manual							NTFSFIX(8)

NAME

       ntfsfix - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS

SYNOPSIS

       ntfsfix [options] device

DESCRIPTION

       ntfsfix	is  a  utility	that fixes some common NTFS problems.  ntfsfix is NOT a Linux version of chkdsk.  It only repairs some fundamental
       NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules an NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows.

       You may run ntfsfix on an NTFS volume if you think it was damaged by Windows or some other way and it cannot be mounted.

OPTIONS

       Below is a summary of all the options that ntfsfix accepts.  Nearly all options have two equivalent names.  The short name is preceded by -
       and  the  long name is preceded by --.  Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
       -fv is equivalent to -f -v.  Long named options can be abbreviated to any unique prefix of their name.

       -b, --clear-bad-sectors
	      Clear the list of bad sectors. This is useful after cloning an old disk with bad sectors to a new disk.

       -h, --help
	      Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.

       -n, --do-nothing
	      Do not write anything, just show what would have been done.

       -V, --version
	      Show the version number, copyright and license
