Hi,

You can convert it, but....

- You will not be able to access it from the WinME installation without help
from a third party tool (you'll find one at sysinternals.com).

- Any files larger than 4GB will have to remain on the "F" volume, you won't
be able to move them to one of the FAT32 volumes.

I have 2 x 80Gb Hard Drives Partitioned with Partition Magic V8.01.
Drive 1 :
"C" Fat 32 - WinXP Home - 20 Gb
"C" Fat 32 - WinME (hidden) - 20 Gb
"E" Fat 32 - Data - 40Gb
Drive 2 :
"D" Fat 32 - Data - 40 Gb
"F" Fat 32 - Data - 40 Gb
I use "F" for CDR recording , but would like to use it for DVD as well.
To overcome the Fat32, 4Gb file limit? can I convert "F" to NTFS, and
still be able to swap files between partitions ?
(Could the NTFS partition be accessed when booted to WinME?)
(Got lost in the MS knowledge base) :-)
