I have a system that originally ran Windows 98. When XP came out, I upgraded to that. However, it never converted my file system to NTFS. I found a command prompt recently that would convert your file system to NTFS.
convert C: /fs:ntfs
I ran that command and it converted my hard drive to NTFS.
However, before the conversion, my hard drive was only using up about 16Gigs of it's total storage capacity. After the conversion, it's taking up nearly 24Gigs of it's storage.
My question is: Is this just the amount of extra storage that the NTFS takes up compared to FAT32...?
OR.....
Is the FAT 32 portion of the hard drive still saved on the hard drive?
If so....how can I delete that section, in order to free up some hard drive space?
Thanks guys! I appreciate the help!
