o.k. heres the deal... i am pretty much computer illiterate, but on the advice of a friend i set my p.c. with two partitions, drive C: for programs and o/s and drive D: to store all my wav files.... this was all well and good when both partitions were fat32, however i upgraded my C: o/s to win2000 with an ntfs system, assuming the d: would also be changed... but my D: is still fat32 and whenever i run a wav from d in a program in c i have what sound like sample rate issues (clicks, tempo delays)... what i want to do is change my D: to nfts, how do i do this?

From what I know is that not going to fix the problem. It doesn't matter much, if at all, which filesystem you use for your audio partition.
If you still want to change the filesystem, the easiest way is to rightclick on the drive in the windows explorer -> format -> choose NTFS as the desired filesystem.
Backup your data first though, you'll lose it.
 
there is another way to do this ... still backup first though its the convert command from the command line.
 
first of back up all the data. (always a good idea) then click on the start button.go to run and type cmd click ok then type
convert d: /fs:ntfs
and follow any instructions after that.
