Thanks Malcolm.  I had been wondering whether that would be worth 
attempting.  However I have a recollection of reading, some time ago, a 
message suggesting that this Convert utility was not the most reliable 
feature of Windows XP.   Although I maintain regular backups of everything 
on the other partitions i do not have one of c: apart of course from 
Documents and Settings.   I think that for safety I ought to get a small 
external HD on which to make an image before using Convert.
