Converting FAT to NTFS

technoboy SG

Hey guys, can I know what's the difference between these two? My msn file sharing is disabled, so I tried troubleshooting and found out it's because my system is FAT.

I tried converting it from FAT to NTFS but there was one step which is:

The type of the file system is FAT32.
Enter the current volume label for drive C:

What does this means? And what is the thing which I must key in to continue? Thanks in advance!

Another question: is it recommended that I convert all my drives to NTFS? Currently only my D drive is and my C and E are FAT32.

To share files in MSN, using NTFS or not doesn't matter.

As for the label...

Start > Run and enter in cmd.exe

In Command Prompt, enter in dir

You will see...

Volume in drive C has no label.

That's your answer. Most of us doesn't use a label by default.

NTFS is more robust tht FAT/FAT32.U can use the con command form DOS for tht.

if u dnt know wht u r dng,well be careful.

What do you mean by more robust?

So should I change all my drives to NTFS?

Enter the current volume label for drive C:

Just type in whatever name you prefer for your C:

Like "SuperDuckwin's Castle, Mighty Dragonball Vault or Michael Disk1"
