Answer 1

Yes, you can convert FAT32 to NTFS without data loss, you cannot revert back though, the benefits are: better support for large disks, improved security features, less problems with fragmentation and because it is a journaling filesystem data integrity is better maintained. To convert your hard rive to NTFS (assuming your hard drive is C), click Start, select Run, type the following:

CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS

and click OK
