Convert Fat 32 to NTFS problem

[robros]

Hello
when I attempt to convert my fat32 drive to NTFS I get the following message.

Convert cannot gain exclusive access to the C: Drive.
So it cannot convert it now.It then goes on to ask me if I would like to convert when I restart.Is this normal.I am running win2000 sp2 with NAV CORP 7.5.
Should let it run that way or can I run it from the command line while in windows .START\RUN\COMMAND

Any Ideas

Thanks for the help
Show me the way to the Next Whiskey Bar!

You've obviously got something running that's locked drive (NAV CORP 7.5.?) - which is why windows has to run process during boot/load process.

Convert cannot get exclusive access to the C: drive because this is the system partition. Windows has many files opened and locked, especially if server (DHCP database, pagefile.sys, reg files, etc...) Same reason why checkdisk with "attempt bad sector repair" option requires rebbot to complete.
