* Windows 2000 includes the convert.exe utility that allows you to convert
to NTFS without any loss of data. The downside to this is you'll end up with
512 byte clusters which is pretty inefficient, slow, and more prone to
fragmentation. The overhead of traversing a greater number of clusters to
retrieve and commit data will result in a degradation in file system (or
disk I/O) performance. Best to choose NTFS at the time of install.

Always prepare for the worst and have on hand the normal backups of anything
you can not afford to lose.


also is it possible to
| change only D drive as I have a split hard drive
* Yes
