    First of all you could've used either FAT32 or NTFS to install XP. Secondly, you don't need a utility to convert fro FAT32 to NTFS, there's a command line which someone else here will tell you (I can't remember it).

    If on the otehr hand you meant NTFS to FAT32 then you'd need some proggies to do that I think.......for example, Partition Magic.
