Question:
all open handles to this volume would then be invalid
So when I run the NTFS tool on my desktop it says. Doesn't sound too good??
"all open handles to this volume would then be invalid"
Answer:
Re: all open handles to this volume would then be invalid
It simply relinquishes the locks held by applications on the files on the partition you are converting, such that it is able to perform the conversion. This is normal & will not affect your files in any ways.
