Once you change to NTFS, there is no turning back. Unless you reformat your hard
drive and reload everything!

To convert to NTFS simply open a command prompt window and type the following
command
convert X: /fs:ntfs
Where X is the drive letter of the
volume you wish to convert. You will be required to reboot in order for the conversion
to take place.

Actually Partition Magic will convert from NTFS to FAT32. I've never tried
it with an OS installed but I know it will make the conversion. I did this just
last week but on a slicked drive.
