    Converting from fat32 to NTFS??
    I installed windows XP and I have Norton 2004. When I try to use the Norton Disk Doctor, it won't allow me to. I think I have a FAT32 and not NTFS. I cannot even use scandisk. If I convert fat32 to NTFS will I be able to run these programs that I am trying to run? My second question is how to convert it?

    You did'nt say if it was from a new formated hdd or was it a win xp upgrade?
    If it was on a clean hdd you should have formated it to NTFS while installing it. Can you let me know?
