Converting to NTFS

Method 1 (Recommended)

The hard drive included with a Windows NT 4.0 Workstation

model contains a primary FAT16 partition on which the

operating system and Compaq software are installed. The rest of

the hard drive is divided into one or more additional partitions.

Because FAT16 only supports partitions up to 2 GB, converting

to NTFS will allow hard drives larger than 2 GB to be

partitioned as one large drive.

The largest NTFS partition possible is 7.5 to 8.0 GB,

depending on the hard drive, with a second NTFS

partition created from the remaining space on the drive.

If the computer does not have a CD-ROM drive, other means of

installation, such as a network share, will be needed.

CAUTION:

The following procedures will remove all of the

software applications and data files from your hard drive. Be sure

to back up any data files you have created prior to converting from

FAT16 to NTFS, or you will not be able to restore them.

You will be able to restore the original operating system and

Compaq software from the Compaq Restore CD . The operating

system (without Compaq software or optimized drivers) may be

restored from the operating system installation CD or diskettes.

Insert the Compaq Restore CD, version 2.0 or higher, into the

CD-ROM drive and turn on or restart the computer. Read and

follow the instructions that appear on the screen to change the

drive partitioning.
