Hacking Archived .iso's to DVD?

[Elritha]

The "C:\Document and Settings\user" shouldn't matter, just type in 'convert d: /fs:ntfs'. You are specifying the D drive in that command so it shouldn't matter.

But then that means it'll end up being "C:\Document and Settings\user Convert D:\FS:NTFS"

wouldn't that not work?


this if my first time ever working with the D drive =[

That's how it's meant to be. The command line always shows your current directory. Just type it in and hit enter.

It would be a wise idea to convert ALL DRIVES to keep them consistent

NTFS is a far better drive structure format for an XP system anyway more reliable and more stable

You WILL NOT loose any files at all it will just reorganise the drive structure to NTFS format which can handle bigger file sizes in gb's where FAT32 will fall over at anything more than 1gb

If your going to use/download lots of dvd/iso type files as you have been doing already then NTFS is the way to go for all drives in your system with the exception of usb stick drives and mem cards they should be FAT for best compatability or FAT 32

I will convert my C drive sometime soon.

All your files will still be there after converting. That been said, ideally it is far better to format a drive to NTFS then to convert it from FAT32 to NTFS. I believe it's something to do with the cluster size.

It's rare that you're going to see a problem with cluster size after converting. And if there is, you can always change the cluster size with Partition Magic or any other partitioning utility.
