use the conv command in the command prompt
convert c: /FS:NTFS from a dos prompt
see help convert for more options
it will convert it when you reboot, I'd advise running defrag first and removing any files you can (maybe onto another partition/drive) should help the process
Cheer's for the reply's lad's i'll give it a go!
