David wants to upgrade a group of twenty Windows 98 computers to the Windows XP operating system. He has already created an answer file for the unattended installation. The hard drives are currently FAT32 partitions. What should he do in order to convert these partitions to NTFS as part of the installation process?
  1. Use [Unattended]FileSystem=ConvertNTFS in the answer file.
  2. Replace the old hard drives with new ones and then install XP.
  3. Use [Unattended]FileSystem=NTFS in the answer file.
  4. Type convert NTFS in the command prompt on every computer.
Explanation
Answer - A - David can configure the answer file to automatically convert FAT16 or FAT32 partitions to NTFS during the installation. To convert the drives, he should add the [Unattended] FileSystem=ConvertNTFS to the answer file.

Key Takeaway: Most users upgrade their computers from Windows 98/FAT32 to Windows XP/NTFS to be able to use the advanced features of the NTFS file system, in addition to those offered by Windows XP. Some other considerations that should be rectified before the upgrade are the minimum requirements for Windows XP. Although file systems are easier to be converted, the system requirements for XP are higher.
