Hi Gunz! Welcome to G2G!

Converting from Fat32 to NTFS shouldn't cause you to lose any of your files. That being said, it is still a good idea for you to backup everything that is important to you on a CD/DVD, flash drive, external Hard drive or some other portable media. Always better to be safe then sorry when it comes to possibly losing important data.
