Convert File System to NTFS

I've writing an article about speed up NTFS partition and maybe your file system still using FAT32 or even FAT. So, just upgrade your file system to NTFS so as being more secure, saving space and fast.

Microsoft is already provide the tool to convert it. You can use the tool in command line environment. And the tool calls convert.exe.
First, open your Command prompt via click Start - Run then type cmd in textbox then press Enter key.
To convert your file system you can type : convert (drive:) (fs:converted file system), for example if you want to change your c: drive become NTFS, type : convert c: /fs:ntfs. To display all its parameters type convert /?. And here are the parameters :

• /FS:ntfs | A required parameter that implies that the volume, drive, or mount point is to be converted to NTFS file system.
• /v | Used to display all messages and prompts before, during, and after the conversion.
• /x | Used to dismount a volume, if required, before the conversion process starts.
• /nosecurity | Used to remove all security settings for the directories in the specified drive or volume, making the volume accessible to everyone.
• /cvtarea:FileName | Used by advanced users to specify a contiguous file located in the root directory to become a placeholder for the NTFS system files, which are usually the MFT and metadata files. Using this parameter prevents fragmentation of the volume after conversion.

And after you command your computer to convert, you'll asked to restart the computer and when Windows XP boot up, the convert progress will started. Just wait for it, and when the progress has done your file system will be NTFS.
And please, don't forget to backup your data first if you want convert your file system.
