YES. Formatting a drive to a different format requires a wipe. Thank god you checked with us first.
Hi
Microsoft provided a program to convert FAT 32 to NTFS without loosing data
I think it appeared with XP
but before using it test hard drive using manufacturers diagnostic program
If that passes run chkdsk
if that passes empty recycle bin and make sure there is plenty of free space on the disk
Is this a internal or external hard drive ?
In any case back up any important data before running converter
regards
Mike Barnes
