How do I convert an NTFS partition to NTFS 5.0?

A. Windows NT 5.0 introduces NTFS 5.0 which enables a number of newfeatures. By default when you install Windows NT 5.0 it will automaticallyconvert any NTFS 4.0 partitions to NTFS 5.0. ANY and ALL NTFSvolumes Windows 2000 sees - including removable media are automaticallyconverted to V5.0 on the fly when Windows 2000 mounts them.

Service Pack 4 has an updated NTFS.SYS which can read NTFS 5.0 partitions soapply this to any systems that need to read Windows 2000 NTFS 5.0 partitions andin a multi-boot environment BEFORE installing Windows 2000.

By default (you canoverride using advanced option button) on server installations the bootpartition will be upgraded to NTFS if you’re not in a dual boot environment,yep that’s right it automatically upgrades from FAT to NTFS.
