Converting from FAT32 to NTFS is supposed to be safe but you should back up your data anyways. Formatting anew as NTFS will destroy the data on that partition. Thus, if you choose that option and want to keep your data a backup would be required.<\/p>\n<p>You can view the instructions on the Microsoft support website for <a href=\"http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/307881\">converting FAT32 to NTFS<\/a> if you so choose.<\/p>\n<p>You may also want to be aware that all your programs and their settings will be gone after upgrading from Windows XP.
