This morning I turn on the computer (Windows XP pro /w SP1) and it loads until it gets to the nice blue screen, with the XP logo. . . but the dialog box, where I'm supposed to enter my password, doesn't come up! So the computer is just stuck and I can't log into windows! Same thing happens in safe mode.

WinXP Pro convert FAT32 to NTFS

cfindustries
I'm sure this has been asked here before. . . but, I don't see any way to convert the existing FAT32 partition to NTFS. I just got a new laptop running XP Pro but I can't read the shares on the other machines on the network that are running Win2K and NTFS partitions.

Awksul
This is something that always been bothering me. I just want to make certain that the services below (see screenshot) are running on the correct priority thread. Personally I don't see why these services have to run at high or above high.
