FAT32->NTFS (after SQL Server 2005 Express installation)

I have FAT32 system on my machine and SQL Server 2005 Express installed on it.

Is there will be any problem in SQL Server 2005 Express (in terms of server machine and client machine) if I change my FAT system from FAT32 to NTFS ?

Thanks

Typically you have to format your drive to switch file systems. You'd have to re-install all your software after this, including SQL Express. If you have user databases, you'll need to save copies of them somewhere before formating your disk. Once you've got the system switched over to NTSF, SQL Express will work fine.

If you're using a third party tool to switch file systems without formating, I can't make any claims as to what will happen with SQL Express as we don't test that.

Thanks Mike.

For unexpacted I should go through Format HDD (or partiation) as NTFS system -way.
