No you will not loose anything. You will be prompted that the conversion will not take place until a reboot. After you reboot you will see a Blue Screen and the conversion process taking place. Do not turn the computer off during the conversion process or you could lose data.
When we image computers we install Windows XP on a FAT32 partition and then convert that to NTFS. There's no point to keep a Windows filesystem on FAT32 anymore. NTFS 5.0 is much better. Although FAT32 works better when doing SysPrep and Ghosting.

to alter from fat 32 to NTFS record equipment for greater stability, secure practices and much less fragmentation, open the command instantaneous and kind: Convert C: /FS:NTFS the place C: is thecontinual you elect to transform. The command instantaneous could be loaded via initiate->Run->cmd even however you're actually not meant to lose your information, continuously carry out a backup first.
