Converting FAT to NTFS

  Hey guys, can I know what's the difference between these two? My msn file sharing is disabled, so I tried troubleshooting and found out it's because my system is FAT.

  I tried converting it from FAT to NTFS but there was one step which is:

  The type of the file system is FAT32.
  Enter the current volume label for drive C:

  What does this means? And what is the thing which I must key in to continue? Thanks in advance!

  Another question: is it recommended that I convert all my drives to NTFS? Currently only my D drive is and my C and E are FAT32.

  To share files in MSN, using NTFS or not doesn't matter.

  As for the label...

  Start > Run and enter in cmd.exe

  In Command Prompt, enter in dir

  You will see...

   Volume in drive C has no label.

  That's your answer. Most of us doesn't use a label by default.

  NTFS is more robust tht FAT/FAT32.U can use the con command form DOS for tht.

  What do you mean by more robust?

  So should I change all my drives to NTFS?

  Enter the current volume label for drive C:

   

  Just type in whatever name you prefer for your C:

  Like "SuperDuckwin's Castle, Mighty Dragonball Vault or Michael Disk1"
