From: Chris Robinson
Yeh, you run it from the C:\ prompt. It won't do anything bad to your machine
- I've done on loads of machines in the past without any problems at all - it
just converts
the filesystem. I guess things could go wrong if you had a power cut part
way through or something, although I don't know what'd happen in this
situation? Always best to
take a backup first IMHO.
