| 714791 | 2008-10-25 10:19:00 | Hi, I have spent more time with Win2k and it was possible via help with a link to convert a partition to NTFS. Is this possible with WinXP and how do I go about doing it? Thanks. |

| 714793 | 2008-10-25 19:20:00 | However, if the drive was partitioned and formatted using other than Windows XP, (as may be the case for drives larger than 32GB), then it is recommended that the partitions are re-aligned to 4kB cluster boundaries before converting to NTFS. Otherwise there may be a serious loss in performance. www.aumha.org |
