Converting FAT Partitions to NTFS with the Convert Utility
At some point, you may need to convert a hard drive formatted using the FAT format into one that
uses NTFS. However, this task is becoming less common as people move from Windows 9
x
to
Windows NT??“based operating systems. Newer machines usually come with NTFS installed. In
fact, the number of existing systems with FAT installed diminishes every day, so you??™ll eventually
be able to forget about the Convert utility as a relic of some bygone era. However, for now, you??™ll
still need to convert hard drives from one format to another.
The Convert utility is unique in that it relies on three other utilities to perform its work:
AutoConv (automates the file system conversion during reboots), AutoFmt (automates the file formatting
process during reboots), and AutoLfn (automates the conversion of long filenames).
