Converting Fat32 to NTFS?

Ok when I installed win2k I used fat32 because I was planning on dual booting with Win98, but that ain't gonna happen anymore cause there is no use for win98. So I am wondering if I can just simply convert my Fat32 to NTFS without having to reformat or kill any data? And also I have a second HD that's also Fat32 where I keep all my mp3s and all that fun stuff, and I would like to convert this to NTFS also without having to kill everything. And if that doesn't work, would it be ok to have my Primary C drive as NTFS and my slave as Fat32?
 
Yeah, look in the windows help files for convert and it will show you the command line to convert fat 32 to ntfs.
 
i believe software such as partition magic will allow you to convert your file system without formatting, and there may also be an option in windows

and yes, NTFS primary C drive would work fine

So all you do from command prompt is type &quot;convert c: /fs:ntfs&quot;.
