Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / July 2003cvt1 crashes
I'm trying to convert to fat32 in order to free up some C: drive space. I run the conversion utility, but it always crashes during the initial check for virus software. I've done everything: defragmented, uninstalled all of my Norton Utilities, and even tried running the conversion program from a "Safe Boot". I always get the same error message? What can I do? I've now got about 100MB left on my 2 GB C: drive. Without knowing the error message you are receiving it's a bit hard to guess at the problem. Have you disabled BIOS boot sector virus protection? Have you confirmed that there aren't any viruses on the machine? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I'm trying to convert to fat32 in order to free up some C: > drive space.

Sorry, I was at work, away from the computer with the problem. All of my virus protection programs have been uninstalled. I don't know anything about disabling BIOS boot sector virus protection - there's no documentation about that. My error message is: CVT1 The program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Under "Details": CVT1 caused an invalid page fault in module KRNL386.EXE at 0002:00042cc. >-----Original Message----- >Without knowing the error message you are receiving it's a bit hard to guess [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >. You should re-install your anti-virus software and confirm that there are no viruses on the machine. To disable boot sector virus protection access BIOS setup. You do this with a special key (such as DEL or F1) which is mentioned on screen during machine startup when the memory count is ticking over. Within BIOS setup there is an option called boot sector protection or boot sector warning. Make sure it is disabled. When the conversion is complete, re-enable it. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > Sorry, I was at work, away from the computer with the > problem. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > > >. I had trouble disabling boot sector protection. I ran the startup program you mentioned. There was nothing mentioning disabling boot protection on the home page. Of the various menu options, only "BOOT" seemed like it might have something worthwhile. On the BOOT screen, the options were: Restore on AC Power Loss Quick Boot Mode [Disabled] 1st Boot Drive 2nd Boot Drive . . Hard Drives Removable Drives None of these seem to be what your referencing. Where do I need to go to disable Boot Sector protection? I had checked for viruses earlier on in the process. If I run into a dead end, I'll double check, but the problems I've been having have existed in exactly the same format after I had done a virus check. >-----Original Message----- >You should re-install your anti-virus software and confirm that there are no [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > >. If your machine is very old you may not have boot sector virus protection. Without knowing the brand of BIOS your machine has it's not possible to be specific about where you'll find it, but it often has a special heading, such as Security. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I had trouble disabling boot sector protection.

If you still have a problem after verifying that you do not have a virus and that boot sector protection is turned off in the BIOS, then you might try running it after booting to Command prompt only. See method 2 in the article below.
