Update XP to win 8 needs Conversion from FAT to NTFS but CONVERT. EXE does not, any more than CHKDSK, jumps to restart

I'm updating using the MS dissk that stops, saying first convert the HARD disk to the NTFS format. Using convert text suggested for the C drive on reboot, nothing happens, he jumps through and reload Windows. Several attempts have failed so I used CHKDSK /F C: but this jump also thanks to restart.

I tried one of the etensions CHKDSK only indicating finished had erros on the C drive but running CHDDSK /F c: it skpped by.

Please can anyone suggest something else to try I would prefer to use update rather than a full installation disc...

You can use the update disk, but you have almost no choice other than
do a full install (clean). There is no way to make a direct
update of XP. Other than one new installation, your only other
choice would be a triple upgrade - XP to Vista, Vista, 7, 7, and 8.
And I strongly advise against trying it. Not only is it
expensive, but do three upgrades triple the risk of having
problems.

Also if you attempt to run Windows 8 on XP - era machine, it
most likely is that you will be medium low power for Windows 8, and
will need several hardware upgrades, and they will cost enough that it
might be cheaper to buy a new computer with Windows 8 on it.

And not only will insufficient hardware in any way a problem, but you might also
a problem with Windows 8 drivers for some of your old equipment do not have
be available.
