Hi,

I just got XP on here and i want to change my harddrives file system, Since i have a 80gb one i want to change from Fat32 to ntfs but if i do it the windows way i will lose all my data.

So is there a way to do it without losing data??

It is possible. It's converting from NTFS to FAT32 that is not possible.
