Convert fat 16 winnt install to NTFS on c:\ ?

[Guest_imported]

Is there a way to convert a Windows NT 4.0 install from fat 16 to NTFS?
It can not be done with Windows NT running.
Is there a boot disk with convert on it that would allow such an operation?

You can specify what type of NT Installation you want to perform by editing the TXTSETUP.SIF file on the first setup disk. You can specify where you want the OS to load, what file system and what files to copy over during the load.

I got this information straight out of the Customizing NT Server Installatino from the book Windows NT 4 Server Professional Reference, Second Edition, ISBN1-56205-805-3, written by Karanjit S. Siyan, Ph.D

Have you tried from the cmd prompt
c:\>convert c: /fs:ntfs

This will convert c: to NTFS provided there is sufficient space on the harddrive (approx 13MB). The conversion will take place the next time you reboot [sig][/sig]
