converting partition from Fat32 to NTFS

[Kayote]

Guys,

My new Acer laptop (a tablet) already comes with two partitions, both unfortunately are FAT32 & I want to convert the primary (which has WinXP tablet installed) into NTFS while retaining ALL the data so I donot have to install anything over again.

Also, the second partition is going to be used for Linux (Im leaning toward Mepis) installation, whats the ideal size for that... the idea is that I slowly migrate to linux over a few months period...

Any advice and suggestions would be most welcome.

Regards,

Run:
convert /fs:ntfs

Built into the OS and I've never heard of it bombing.
