    Using the command prompt method, I get first a question: What is the current volume label for drive C:?

    So I fill that in. Enter.

    Then it says that "convert cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Convert may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N)?"

    Should I go with either yes or no? Or should I get Partition Magic on my system and use that convert?

    Say yes. ;) - It will convert during reboot.
