When you switch to a drive in CMD, it will open a handle to the drive.

So when you attempt to change the file system on drive j:, since CMD has an open handle, it fails.

Try to run the command without switching to the drive first.

code:
c:\Program Files\Pedram> convert j: /fs:ntfs


But that wouldn't explain why it didn't work after reboot :p?...or would it :o
