Once you've got rid of Vundo I would do that. It's easy enough and you can do it without the need to back up anything.
First to Vundo, which is extremely prolific and difficult to avoid without additional tools as new versions appear almost daily.

To change your file system from FAT32 to NTFS do the following:
Just go to the
Command Prompt (Go to Start/Run and enter cmd then click OK or hit the Enter key) and type the command:
Vol C: (Assuming it is volume C that you are converting. Click OK or hit the Enter key). then type....
convert c: /fs:ntfs
Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert. Note the spaces are intentional. (If you want to convert any other drive, change the
c: to the drive of choice.)
After machine re-boots the conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without any data loss.

Y each time to set up conversion to happen at the next boot when asked and click Enter, then restart the machine. (If you are converting a partition other than the operating system’s partition, you may find that it runs without rebooting.) After returning to Win XP, the hard disk will work for two or three minutes, tidying up.
Leave things alone during this time.
