Re: Why database is corrupted after re-booting

Type the following at the Windows command prompt (start, run, "cmd"):

convert c: /fs:ntfs /v

It will complain about locked files and perform the convert at the next
reboot, which you should do immediately.

XP at least on install I believe has the ability to convert to NTFS.

Have you tried just right clicking on your C: selecting properties
and then seeing if there is a convert option?
