Many of our xp machines were deployed with FAT32 and should have been NTFS. Does anyone have a script that utilizes convert.exe to convert to NTFS silently? All the PC’s effected have the same Hard drive label of IBM_preload.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Toss the following code into a batch file called "hdconvert.bat" and run it on the affected computers. That should do the trick.

CODE
@echo off
convert %systemdrive% /FS:NTFS
Tarun
It may still ask for the label though, in which case you could do

convert IBM_preload /fs:ntfs

But I'm not entirely sure. Verification welcome.
