[QUOTE="evangelist6589, post: 1262067, member: 206145"] Have any of you ever tried this? If so what was the end result? I have my Mac Boot Camp partition in the FAT32 format. Unfortunately I cannot move the partition to a new and larger hard drive without it being in the NTFS format As WinClone will not recognize FAT32. I fear incompatibility with some apps after the conversion as is common on Windows operating systems. Thanks.. [url=http://www.ntfs.com/quest3.htm]NTFS.com Convert FAT32 to NTFS. Converting. Convertion.[/url] Convert FAT to NTFS Q: Is it possible to convert a FAT32 Hard Drive to NTFS without losing all data on the drive? I like to change from FAT32 to NTFS, my operating system is Windows XP PRO, how can I do that? Without the lost of my programs? A: Standard Windows utility that is called CONVERT serves this purpose Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command: C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert. After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without of data loss. [/QUOTE]
