Hi, Please use: convert X: /FS:NTFS at the command prompt of your Windows XP. (X is the drive number where you have your Windows system files, most likely C) If it asks for force dismount, pick yes. Reboot the system and allow the System do the conversion. The conversion is usually done at the early booting stage. The duration of the conversion is a function of the size of data already on your drive. After the conversion, Windows will automatically reboot. Thereafter, reinstall PostgreSQL and enjoy yourself. ------- Best regards, Tope Akinniyi CEO ShepherdHill Software Lagos, Nigeria Do not forget: Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
