When i tried to upgrade to vista home premium, is said that i must change the filesystem to a ntfs.

So what are my options?

Hi Karen50...

You can convert a partition to NTFS without losing your data.

Click Start, then Run, type cmd and click "Ok". In the command session window, type convert c: /fs:ntfs and press "Enter". You will likely be told the drive is busy and asked if you want this to happen on the next boot...answer Yes (Y) and press "Enter".

Reboot.
