The convert command keeps the data on the partition intact (it worked that way since Windows NT 3.51).
There is one thing you should be aware of: As soon as you have NTFS on your disk, you have the tighter access control activated. If the computer is used by multiple users, this may lead to unexpected behaviour when you are exchanging files. Also installing programs under C:\Windows\Program Files\ is typically ony possible as administrator. In General, I would not recommend the conversion of the windows partition on a system that is already in use for a noticable amount of time. Best do it directly after installation - or even better use NTFS during installation

Sysinternals has NTFS for Windows 98. If it's as stable as FAT32 for Windows NT 4.0, which I've been using for years, then it's a damn sure nice software...

I Have Win98 on another partition and deliberately ignored any form of NTFS access under it. Win98 is a temperamental bastard and if it decides to throw a shoe while doing any read/write operation on an NTFS partition, who knows what it will do to that partition!
Win98 wasn't designed to use NTFS so my intsall ain't going to!
