If I convert the FAT32 to NTSF this way would I lose any data? Will it have any effect on any of my software installed? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of N.

If the system has onboard video then it's likely that the onboard video is borrowing some memory from the system. This will decrease the amount shown on bootup and in Windows. You can convert your FAT32 drive to NTFS by doing this: Start > Run > "cmd", then type convert c: /fs:ntfs [ENTER] Schedule the conversion to take place on the next reboot. --- In [email protected], "CV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi again, my home was burglerized and my computer was stolen so I > built me another computer.
