After reading everything here, and looking at a few web sites, I came
across a blog in which an individual suggested running chkdsk with the

parameter. It took about two hours for chkdsk to do its thing, but when
it
finished I tried the convert command again. This time it worked! I now
have
an NTFS drive. Yippee.
I wonder if Starbucks will give me a free latte for doing that?
YAY!!!

Um...

YAY!!!


Crikey...he didn't think of CHKDSK and its options?


Hey, John is our resident VISTA expert. Leave him alone.




Well, he shouldn't have any trouble with the CONVERT commmand. It's
almost idiot proof, which probably explains why SALTY can't handle it...
