Converting FAT32 to NTFS on a dual boot with 2HDD

[ohbon 0]

I have 1st drive XP FAT32 and 2nd drive Fedora 5. I would like to change FAT32 to NTFS.

If I format C: from FAT32 to NTFS it says it will delete all data. With that will it delete the boot loader Grub from this hard disk and then I would not be able to dual boot to the 2nd drive which has Fedora 5?

You don't need to format your FAT32 drive. All you have to do is run the command "convert /FS:NTFS C:" from the command line and it will convert your FAT32 partition to NTFS.

 

It might use a 512byte cluster size but it's not that big of a deal.

 

GRUB is installed in the MBR so using the convert command shouldn't have any effect on your boot loader.
