HI guys.

So I have a macbook , i obviously use bootcamp / windows xp to run holdem manager and poker related programs.

When installing postgres i got this error on the 'initialize database cluster' screen.

"The PostgresSQL data directory must be on an NTFS formatted volume.

If you wish to install the data directory on another type of partition (which is not recommended, and is unsupported) you must initialize the database clusterd by running initdb.exe"

No idea what this means or what I need to do.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

when i type it in cmd this comes up:


"Convert cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Convert may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD BE INVALED.
Would you like to force a simount on this volume? Y/N"

If you say No, which I do because I don't know what it means this msg comes up
" Convert cannot gain exclusive access to the C: drive, so it cannot convert it now. Would you like to shedule it to be converted the next time the system restars (Y/N)?"

thanks in advance
