View 4 Replies View RelatedNTFS Partition Filled Up / Finding Reason To Keep FAT32 Partition?
Feb 5, 2008I bought a new computer.It appears to have been partitioned into a NTFS format and FAT32 format.The default drive for my documents & my pictures etc is the NTFS which I have been using happily. It is Media Centre Edition so I also have a few large files (>4GB) - though I dont keep them long term.NTFS partition has fulled up - but I cant move my large files to other partition to free up space
I've done a little bit of reading but my question is "Should I reformat the FAT32 to make it more of use to me?".I cant really see the need arising to access older OS files, except .JPG's (photo's I had on my old Windows ME Comp) or "Should I move all my smaller files (documents and photo's) to the FAT32 partition and use the NTFS drive for the bigger files?"

May 4, 2004Somehow I've lost the ability to right click on an image file and resize it.

Aug 9, 2005With W98/W95B you could easily use a tool to convert FAT16 to FAT32 from within windows and not lose the data (most of the time anyhow) that was on that drive/partition.Is there any tool to convert FAT32 to NTFS without wiping (formatting) the drive/partition?

Sep 8, 2005I recently destroyed file structure due to mistakenly writing a partition table to the wrong hard disk drive on my machine while installing an experimental version of OS X. The saving factor is that the partition that may have formatted was only 20GB out of 200GB and the rest was unallocated free space. I have installed a temporary instance of WinXP to use data recovery software and recover the majority of files from the drive (it is installed on the non-corrupted
drive).
Free Software Tool To Recovering Files From A Deleted NTFS Partition
Nov 26, 2008Did something really stupid the other day. Was doing a Windows install and I mistook a drive for a different drive.In short, I deleted the partition, recreated the partition, but I haven't reformatted yet. The partition was the same size before and after so that shouldn't be a problem. the files should still be there but I don't know how to get at them. I've already tried Recuva, UndeletePlus, Restoration, and a Knoppix boot disk but none of these were able to do anything because of the lack of a file system/boot sector.

Nov 26, 2006I have 2 internal HDDs, and 3 external HDDs. However, the recent addition of a Mac by my sister has forced me to be able to share the external HDDs between computers. I understand that the Mac OSX reads/not writes NTFS but will read/write FAT32. Having been advised by other senior Windows users many years back, all my HDDs are in NTFS. I have found no solution to convert NTFS back to FAT32. Does anyone know if you can do so; without damage/corruption? There is much family pictures, common music in these external HDDs; so needless to say, they are precious

SP3 BSOD After Kubuntu Install Resize
Nov 4, 2008I installed kubuntu 8.10 from live cd in my new IBM lenovo R61 laptop. I had a Windows XP SP3 pre installed as a single complete partition. I defragmented and compacted the drive using ultradefrag and started kubuntu install. In ultradefrag, I could see that all the data was in the first 30% of the drive, the remaining was free space. In Kubuntu install, I did a resize to 50 % and installed kubuntu in the freespace. The resize went without any problems, installation went good, I could boot into kubuntu after the install. But, the problem is, XP displays a BSOD with 0x0000007B error. After i select windows from GRUB, I get the option from windows whether to start normally or go to safe mode or ..... But whatever option i choose, I get this blue screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDesktop Resize Actions To Snap-to-grid
Sep 5, 2005Does anyone know of a way I can get Windows XP to cause all window resize actions to "snap-to-grid"?Basically, I want Windows to make the window size of all my apps to conform to an invisible grid with grid lines every 20 or 30 pixels, say. This capability exists for icons on the desktop, but apparently not for application windows.I found reference online to a registry setting called Grid Granularity. However, even though that setting exists in XP, it appears to be ignored. I also found a note from someone who said he thought there was some shareware that would allow you to do this. However, I've searched for literally two hours, and can't find what I want. I thought this would be such a common desire that it would either be built into Windows or available in any of a dozen shareware desktop enhancements.But after looking at several of the top desktop enhancement packages, I can't find anyone who provides this feature.
