Did you hit Enter after the command? Is E where your operating system is
installed?

What did you expect the drive designator of E: to do? It's a drive
letter, not a program! Since neither your reply nor the original post
mentioned just HOW to do the conversion, perhaps what you want to do is
*run* the _converter_ program, as in:

convert.exe e: /fs:ntfs

Run "convert.exe /?" to see how to use it. convert.exe is a
console-mode (DOS) program, not a windowed program. That means if you
run it from a command prompt that a console window will open for it, it
runs, it exits, and then the console window closes. So nothing remains
left open in a window for you to see the output (stdout) that the
program generated. You need to run the command inside a command shell,
so run "cmd.exe" (Start -> Run) to load a command shell which loads its
own console window. The shell's window will remain open before and
after you run the convert program.

Windows has its own included help system. Use the "Start -> Help and
Support" menu to load the help system and then search on "convert NTFS".
It'll tell you what to do.

Also, next time you post, don't try to hijack a *FIVE YEAR OLD* thread.
Instead start your own new thread and provide context and details on
YOUR situation.
