R&R creates a FAT32 HHD. Can this be changed to NTFS?

The RR disks creates a FAT32 partition Is there a way to change this behavior to create a NTFS partition without converting the system after XP has been installed?

In the two or three times I have used Rescue & Recovery, the FAT32 was changed to NTFS during the final phase of the process. This happens during the time when the very long batch file finishes up. I thought the whole thing was done at frist, due to some delays, but by letting the batch file continue, it soon did the file system conversion near the end of it all.

Did your batch file completely finish? If not, yes, you can manually convert to NTFS. Windows help has instructions on how to do thig. It's pretty easy to do.

My RR restore leaves the system with FAT32. I'd rather not convert it to NTSF after the fact.
