Thanks, everyone. We'll go ahead and convert. I appreciate the helpful
comments and articles.

I would convert them all to NTFS. There are so many advantages over
FAT32. Disk compression, speed, recovery, security, etc. Check out the
following article and make your decision off of that.

We received some new PC's with XP Pro preinstalled. The hard drives are
formatted as FAT32. How do we convert these to NTSF, and how many of
you
would even bother to do so?

You can run:

Convert c: /FS:NTFS

This conversion will run next time the PC is started.

I would convert them. You can't secure files by groups, etc
if the file system is not NTFS.

I can't think of a compelling technical reason to do so. I would only
do so to keep all the drive formats the same.

In addition to the security advantages NTFS offers that Tim mentioned, NTFS
does a better job of utilizing file space than Fat32 does.

You're going to want to go ahead and convert those to NTFS if you're at all
concerned about having half-way secure systems. With FAT32 it's just that
much easier for a would-be hacker to take advantage of...
