I have 40GB HDD divided into three partitions, all of them are Fat32. I want to convert partition E: into NTFS, but when I did it the whole system 'reseted' itself, I mean it was as if I'd just installed it. Is there any way to convert the partition without such surprises?

Usually FAT to NTFS conversions go pretty smoothly. I've never had an issue with such conversions before. Might be worth researching.

P.S., Interesting sig. By coincidence I actually have the DVD of The Grudge in front of me right now.

Yes, I'd like it to go smoothly, but unfortunately it doesn't... Oh and I used Partition Magic 8 to do it, maybe that's the case?

PS. Thanks for your comment on my sig

Quite possibly. Windows XP has its own conversion program, which is what I used.

Hmmm, where is it if I might ask?
