[Ernie]

Before I do this, I just want to make sure....... I can do this with my kma files still on the drive????

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to enter this..... I just want to be sure!
Type:
convert f:/fs:ntfs

Should all hard drives be converted to ntfs, or just the external ones?

Thanks,
Ernie

Your drive with XP on it should already be NTFS. And you are correct on the format of the command.
As I said before back the files up just in case.....

Dale,
I just tried it with the external drive (different external drive) on my desktop, and it came up with.... Enter current volume label for drive L. I put the letter N and it came up with... an incorrect volume label was entered for this device. I don't know what it's looking for. I'm going to try it with my desktop before I try it on my laptop.

Thanks
Ernie

With the drive connected. Right click on it in My Computer or Windows Explorer. The information there will tell you what the Volume Label is. You have to know that to reformat the drive or it won't let you continue.
