    Hey!

    I just noticed that all the partitions are FATs after installing OS at first time. OS is XP Pro. Any idea how to change partitions to ntfs without loosing any data? I didn't find any conversion tool from XP like it is in win2000.

    I used partition magic for that conversion, re-partitioned the harddisk too. When you play with partition magic, don't touch that hidden recovery partition. Damn i'm bad in english...

    To convert all u have to used is convert.exe command

    eg: convert c: /fs:ntfs [ this will convert c: to ntfs , similarly replace the drive letter for each drive)

    BTW: I'like ur Topic Title : I'am FAT :D
