CONVERT is a command-line program with one simple function: to change a FAT partition to NTFS. Normally CONVERT applies user and system security settings to all of the files in the partition, but the command-line option /NoSecurity leaves the access rights to all files open to everyone, as if the partition were an unsecured FAT partition.
To use CONVERT to make your C: drive NTFS:
Click Start, then Run. Type in CMD or open a Command Prompt window.
At the command prompt type:
convert c:\ /fs:ntfs
If the partition has a volume label, you will be prompted to type it in.
Press Y to proceed. If this partition is also the system root, you will see a message telling you the partition will be converted at the next reboot.
Close all open programs and restart your PC. Convert will run CHKDSK to verify the contents of the partition and then begin the conversion. After conversion the system will restart with the new partition.
