I have windows XP professional, no service pack, FAT32.
I have installed IIS. it is showing in Control Panel- Admin.Tools-IIServices.
Inetpub, wwwroot folders have been created. But any .asp file doesn't work.
Now i went in Control P.-admin.tools-iis-website-default w.site-right click on All Tasks- check server Xtensions. this is what i get:

Web http://f-up9xjofsdfivx/

PROBLEM: Your web is insecure because the server extensions DLLs are installed on a FAT drive. We recommend that you convert the drive that the extensions are installed on to NTFS.
NOT CORRECTED

Does this mean that i 'have' to convert to NTFS. is there no other way?
Please,I don't want to lose any data/file on my computer. My hard disk is with 2 partitions- C , D.
IIS is on C which is 9.31 GB.
Please remember while answering that I am not a software/hardware expert.
But pls. do reply soon.

Don't have to convert if you're using it "locally", just more secure if you do?

Have you started the web site?
