How to upgrade to HFS Plus on a regular HD

[Zylstra]

Is it possible to upgrade from HFS to HFS Plus on a regular PC Hard Drive?
(Never really been in this section for the form before)

Well, my first question is this:
Is it safe to switch this type of format?
Its done with the highly magnetic sectors. And it switches the counting the harddrive head does. (But it does increase space if you have a lot of small files)

Why would you want to do this?

HFS Plus allows you to use more of your hard drive. Only one file can be stored per sector, and with HFS Plus, you can have smaller sectors, allowing more files, and more disk scape to be used.

It's like Jurassic Park. "I know we CAN do this but SHOULD we do this?"

LOL
Exactly. So, I know if I try hard enough, I bet I can, but SHOULD I try?
