To convert FAT/FAT32 to NTFS (Windows 2000/XP only)

  • 1. Select a disk and a FAT/FAT32 partition.
    You can see which partitions are labeled FAT or FAT32 by looking at the Type column in the partition list.
    2. Click Operations > Convert.
    3. Click NTFS.
    4. Click Yes to continue with the conversion.
    Because Windows NT (FAT to NTFS) or Windows 2000/XP (FAT32 to NTFS) performs the conversion, when you click Yes, ServerMagic automatically applies any pending changes that are listed in the Operations Pending dialog box and exits. The Convert utility is then started.
    5. If you have open files, a message appears indicating that the convert utility cannot gain exclusive access to the hard disk and asks if you want to schedule the conversion the next time the computer restarts. If you type Y, the conversion will automatically take place when you reboot the computer. After typing Y you should close ServerMagic and manually reboot the computer to complete the conversion.
    If you do not have any open files, the Batch Progress dialog box appears. Click OK to return to the ServerMagic main window. The partition is converted.

    Tips
    1. The convert FAT or FAT32 to NTFS option is available only if you are running the Windows NT version of ServerMagic, there is sufficient free space, the partition is large enough, and the partition has a drive letter assigned. The convert FAT32 to NTFS option is available only if you are running Windows 2000/XP.
