NTFS Don't Convert Command
Feb 6, 2009
I just ran the vista advisor from Microsoft and it said my 160 GB FAT 32 Hard drive was acceptable. I was under the impression that Vista required NTFS. I don't like the convert command because it loses some performance and has other issues. I can format and partition another 160 GB Hard Drive to NTFS and then use Acronis to copy partions (it will copy the files from an image without copying the FAT 32 format). The only problem is that it will take more than four hours. Does anyone know of a quicker method?

It's a new drive with nothing on it. I started converting it from an Amin command prompt about 5 hours ago. The LED on the drive is flashing and the Task Manager shows it's running but other than that I have no indication that it is in fact actually running. Below is what the command prompt window displays. It has not changed at all in the 5 hours. Has anyone else experienced this? How long does this process usually take?

I am writing to this Forum in desperation because I cannot find any way to get in touch by email with Windows Live OneCare even though I am a paid subscriber. I have NOT had a good experience of MS tech support. After 18 months of endless problems with Windows VISTA Ultimate Edition V 6001 I now wish to reformat my computer and get RID of it altogether, replacing it with System 7 for which I have a serial number and a beta download from the recent Microsoft online download offer.
As VISTA seems to have eleminated DOS altogether and the old FDisk command doesn't work from a command line start, I have tried to reformat from my OEM Vista Ultimate Edition re-installation DVD which I am certain used to offer me reformat and partitioin delete as the first options but that no longer seems to offer me any reformat option at all and not only instists only on re-installing VISTA (which I no longer want) but leaves the old installation in a directory renamed "WindowsOld" which VISTA will then not allow me to delete....

I've been trying to figure out how to make a command prompt run a command line as soon as the box comes up.
I need this to happen all from one command line. A command prompt needs to open with "echo hi" being ran as a command line.

I'm having trouble with the REN command with wild cards as used from the command prompt. For example, in the REN command help, it says: "For example, if you had files that are named smitha.doc, smithb.doc, and smithc.doc, you could use the ren smith*.doc smythe*.doc command. All file names automatically show the new spelling, and are renamed smythea.doc, smytheb.doc, and smythec.doc.".........

I have an internal IDE HDD that I have put in an USB external enclosure and connected to my Dell Vista laptop. When I attempt to format the drive in Computer Management, I assign it a letter and format with NTFS. However, the result is a Healthy Partition in RAW format. When I try to attempt to reformat using quick format, sometimes it will format it again as RAW, or it will give me an error message stating that Windows cannot format the drive. Again, the HDD shows up as a Simple, Basic, Healthy(Primary Partition) with a RAW File System. I cannot access the drive and put files on it.

when I powered up my Vista I noticed that it was unusually slow and all of a sudden, it froze for no apparent reason. I rebooted [by pressing reset on case as keyboard wouldn't respond] and booted into XP and ran chkdsk on the Vista partition. Sure enough, it found two errors but in the index area. Here's the output of DOS window:
Code: C:>chkdsk /r d:
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is NEW_C.
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 5)...
File verification completed.
CHKDSK is verifying indexes (stage 2 of 5)...
Deleting index entry SBEServer.exe in index $I30 of file 1153.

Can vista 32 pro install on an ntfs partition formated with 16k clusters. If so how can I format the drive to 16k clusters using the vista boot cd, are there any steps or commands I need to do during the boot sequence? And are there any "stable" third party programs or suggestions so I don't have to dump the current os that is on the drive? As I believe that the image file restores the cluster size.

I am used to dual booting xp O/S and typically I keep one partition NTFS (everyday usage) and the other FAT32 (software testing). This is so when I boot into my FAT32, my NTFS is hidden and the primary drive is C:
I bought a new desktop with Vista intalled on it, I have successfully partitioned and dual booted with XP. Vista is NTFS and XP is FAT32, when I boot into the FAT32 XP, the primary comes up as H: and the C: is still the Vista partition which
easily browsable? Why can XP read Vista NTFS partition?

Is is often recommended (if defragmenting tool allows it - as JKDefrag and incoming MyDefrag ) to keep MFT and folders close together for short access time. $Logfile ( NTFS transaction circular log ) seems not to be movable by Vista defragmentation API. Does make sense to keep together all of them by placing MFT / folders toward $Logfile?

I have an eSATA drive formatted NTFS from my XP installation. Drive works fine from either XP or Linux (multi-boot machine) I had previously tried Vista on the machine but it saw the eSATA drive as unformatted. Gave the message "Do you want to format this drive?"
Very dangerous as an unknowing person may have actually formatted the drive and lost all their data. Interestingly enough, any time I've tried to access the drive, Vista ran a chkdsk on it at the next boot up. CHKDSK from Vista saw it fine and reported no errors. but could not read the drive once booted to the desktop. I eventually gave up on Vista and just did a Win7 install yesterday.

Recently, after varying times of general computer usage (internet, e-mail) ranging from 5 minutes to an hour, I'll get a BSOD, with the above title. I'll attach the dump files, and include the code from it below. I've tried some troubleshooting of my own. I've run memtest86+ on each of my 4 1-gig RAM modules, all clean. I've run Prime95, clean. I've installed new video drivers. I've run a diskcheck, and used Western Digital's diagnostic utility, clean. The culprit always is ntfs.sys. Should I try to repair my windows, or replace the ntfs.sys with a new one?. Also, I don't have any readboost of USB storage devices plugged in.
Code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except, it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory. Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa610b3a9ff8, memory referenced.
Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: fffffa6001219130, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address.
Arg4: 0000000000000005, (reserved) ............

I know about FAT32, but I know little about NTFS. Assuming both hard drives are not "fragmented". If a large (200MB) file is deleted, is it more likely to be overwritten (space it occupied on the hard disk is overwritten) on a FAT32 hard disk compared to a NTFS? Remove "ine" from my email address

What happens when you attempt to install Windows 7 on a drive with NTFS version 1.2 (or some earlier version... like 1.3, etc)? Does it alter the file system? Any way to force Win7 to use the older file system? I'm hoping for performance improvements due to less features in older NTFS, but I know little on the topic.

I have just spent all day, literally, formatting and partitioning my 500gb SeaGate Free Agent. As of now, it is 32gb FAT32, and the rest is NTFS. My question is, can I use the Extend/Shrink Volume tools to decrease the maximum capacity of the NTFS format and therefore increase the maximum capacity of the FAT32 format, as I need more than 32gb. If not, how can I achieve this on Vista?

What is MKV and how to convert MKV to MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, MPG, 3GP, iPod, Zune, PSP etc? Lately, a new format MKV emerged. More and more people start to use MKV. However, lots of people don?t know what the MKV is. As seldom players can read it, people may face the problem that they can?t use the MKV video. This thread here is to remedy that. I will show you what the MKV is on earth, and how to convert MKV to other popular video format so that your video can be widely used.
MKV, also known as Matroska, is a multimedia container format. It is not a video or audio compression format. It is an envelope for which there can be many audio, video and subtitles streams, allowing the user to store a complete movie or CD in a single file. Matrosla has incorporates features that you would expect from a modern container format like fast seeking in the file, high error recovery, chapter entries, selectable subtitle streams, selectable audio streams,............

people who own jvc mod camcorders, panasonic mod camcorders or canon mod camcorders encountered the issue with--- what to do with the mod files? and they hold the same dream that the recorded .mod file type can be converted to mpeg, avi, mkv, flv, mp4, wmv or whatever more common. however, most major video editing suites seem to unwillingly accept the mod format.
someone successfully made it simply by changing the extension from .mod to mpg, but for most people, they just failed only to find there is no audio after the extension is changed, or the changed one doesn&8217;t allow you to import these files into windows movie maker, not to mention upload some video to Internet.com or facebook. people use different operation system, windows xp, vista or else. no one wants to say they just want to enjoy the .mod files on camcorder. stop wasting your time and getting pissed off..............
