Coversion from FAT32 to NTFS
I converted my slaved Western Digital 200GB from FAT32 to NTFS using Partition Magic 8. Now in the root directory I can only open 1/3 of the folders that appear to be there. I have tried deleting the inaccessible folders and this also does not work.

Without expensive software or data services, I'd back it up and format the drive.
Personally, I've found Partition Magic to do more harm than good. I don't know what it is, but it never seems to work correctly for me.
You can convert FAT32 > NTFS with Windows 2k/XP itself, and without extra software.
