Iam using Windows XP os. Can I transfer my FAT32 file system into NTFS? Is it possible? Can I do it without reinstalling my OS?
Thank you people!

as everyone else said yes, though i would recomend you back up your important documents etc just in case something goes wrong (though it never has for anyone i know)

Ok people thank you.
One more question: How could I do it? Which program I need to run?

run this at the command line prompt
convert /fs:ntfs
and this will convert to ntfs.
however, i don't think you can go back to fat32 after than.
probably a good suggestion to have both types of partitions on your computer in cases you have programs that do not work on ntfs, but work on fat32 systems

There are no such programs these days, if there ever was.
Well, there might be SOME who care about the filesystems (special system apps etc), but your average media player, web browser, game or whatever won't.
I've been running all NTFS on my windows boxes for 4 years and I haven't had a single (unfixable) FS related problem.
