[dba-Tech] Tricky situation

The trouble is that the FAT drive is that it is the main drive of the main
estimator for this company. The present FAT drive is too small and needs to
be upgraded and entire system has to be moved...intact and no downtime. 

There is not enough room on the drive to convert from FAT to NTFS... only 5
GB left.

Any other good thoughts or ideas? (I have left it for a bit as I can not
install the new drive during the week and must do all work on their system
on the weekends. :-))

Jim

Hi Jim,
I may be mistaken but wasn't there a utility for converting Fat32 to BTFS?
IOW if so, would it save time to restore the Fat32 image to the new drive
and then convert it to NTFS?
