Formating in Win 2K

[Holmecollie]

I have a 32gb HD... 30gb NTSF, 1gb FAT32 and 1gb unpartitoned.

My problem is I want to unpartiton the FAT32 part and format the 2gb as one NTSF partiton.

How do I do this in Win2k

And also, is there something simular to fdisk i can use in win2K?

-Make your Win2k Startup disks (should be 4 of em)
-Start the baby up with disc 1 in... Follow the instructions...
-It'll ask you if you wish to convert the entire hd to NTFS...I'd suggest you do that unless your planning on going back to Win98 fer some reason...
-It'll also ask how exactly you wish to partition ya drive... It's really quite simple...

Unless Im totally misreading your question...😕

Control Panel > Administratvie Tools > Computer Management > Disk management > [select the disk/partiontion that you want do del & format]

You can create new partition & format using the "Disk Management" tool, and then extend it to an exsisting volume.

Open a dos windows and use the "convert" command to change your partion from fat/fat32 to ntfs:

CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V]

The "convert" command will convert your file to NTFS with out reboot on a non bootable partion......you need to reboot on a bootable partion after runing the convert command for the action to take affect. You might want to run the (check disk) "chkdsk" command prior to the convert command to make sure that your file integrity is intact.

CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/i] [/C] [/L[:size]]
