I am trying to convert a 120Gig Western Dig External
Firewire hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS using the
Convert.exe utility SUPPOSEDLY available from the DOS
prompt. All I get when attempting to run the utility
is "convert is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file". Does anybody
know why I'm getting this error message?????

Hi

Try this:

From a command prompt type 'path' - without the quotes. Is the windows\system32 folder included? If not

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Environment Variables, then Path>Edit. Add the following to the end of that statement:

;C:\windows\system32 - where C is the letter on which you have your Windows folder.
