Hey all,

My windows xp computer is running on a FAT32 filesytem, and i want to changed it to an NTFS one, befcause today when trying to extract something i downloaded i discovered how the FAT32 filesytem cannot deal with files bigger than 4gb.

I went to command prompt (start-all programs-accessories-command prompt)

I typed in " convert c: /fs:ntfs "

Then i get a message saying, "The type of filesytem is FAT32, Enter current volume label for drive c:"

What is a volume label?
Because i dont have a clue what one is, and where would i be able to find out what mine is?

Thanks alot in advance for any help.

Click Start, click Run, type compmgmt.msc, and then click OK.

Select Disk Management and you will see what the volume lables are on your disk.
