Not Convert / Upgrade Fat 32 / Nfts
Jul 24, 2005
I run XP Pro SP1 with Fat 32 and when I try to back my 80gb hard drive to an external 80gb hard drive, I run into file size limitations. Since a full back up is over 5 hours, I usually try to run it when I'm not around but it stops to await a prompt from me to proceed to the "next media" In the documentation for the back up software, it discusses NFTS. For some reason, I chose not to convert to NFTS when I upgraded to XP but can't remember what it was at the time. What are the pros or cons with NFTS as opposed to Fat32 and what problems may I encounter with a conversion?

My friend has an old computer running XP pro. He only has USB 1. If I fitted a USB 2.0 PCI Card would this enable him to run he's printer which needs USB 2. I said it would but I don't want to buy it and find out I'm talking rubbish.

I have an EEE pc here, with only 2gb SSD inside, and running windows! (Yes i really would be better off selling it on ebay and buy some lego or something) - buuttt, I had a final thought before doing so; to span the volume onto my external drive. However when I try to convert my external 2.5" IDE 40gb HDD, the 'convert to dynamic disk' is grayed out. I don't know what to make of this, and have found nothing much specific enough on google so far.

Yesterday I upgraded my old computer to Xp, but I did so on only one partition, and I left It at FAT 32 just to see if it would work. Now Iam going to convert to NTFS because everything went fine and now I just want to free up space and reformatt the hard drive, basically getting rid of all the information on it and starting fresh. I just want to know if I can reformatt, and the steps for doing so if I can.I only have one partition on this computer that is why I am concerned about the reformatting thing. I tried to formatt when it was still FAT32 but it was saying that i needed to close all remaining things that were using this system.? I am going to convert to NTFS reguardless I just want to free up all my disk space that is being stolen from the old 98 system files.

Convert from fat32 to ntfs:From the command line: CONVERT C: /FS:NTFSHowever, the best way in my opinion is a 3rd party product such as Partition Magic (version 7.0 or later). Lets you do everything from within the GUI and it's a delight to work with. Without Partition Magic, this is a one-way process (you cannot convert back to FAT without a reformat)

I already converted my HD from FAT32 to NFTS. I ran the "fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c:" and it shows my cluster size of 4096 KB. BootIT NG also confirms the 4KB cluster size.So..Is that all I needed to do? Is there an advantage of formatting a HD directly as NTFS? Is the convert command (with the 4KB cluster size) enough or will a re-format give better security, performance etc.

I have a GM SATA 160GB External Hard Drive that is USB compatible.During a recent file transfer, a suspected Virus infection caused all folders to executable files which even could not be viewed. Failing in several attempts to recover any of the affected files, I resorted to various formatting procedures including Low-level formatting. RAW file format resulted and now I need an NTFS file format to be able to use the drive!

Ever wanted to convert your internal Zip Drive to a portable one? Purchase a Mobile Hard Disk Rack. Install your internal Zip Drive to the Rack. XP will automatically recognize the Zip Drive and you are good to go!

At an office where I work, the XP installation has been upgraded, but the file system is FAT32.I tried to install a photo card reader, and the system crashed. What are the dangers, in converting to NTFS using the convert.exe command, in losing data already installed? I don't want to be blamed for the wiping out of any of the current set up, but I only know NTFS, and have never used FAT32 with XP.

I installed windows XP on a HP Pavilion with a 20 GB HD using NTFS then found out I should have used FAT32 on a HD that is less than 32GB in size. Also read that I cant go back to FAT32. I was reading on bootdisk.com that I can do a clean install and delete existing partition and when asked to reformat type in a number less than 32GB then go from there. Will this work? My main question is should I bother and why? It seems to work ok using NTFS although a little slower than my brand new Dell. Its just plain fast.

I have a Blackberry (BB) and in our firm we have MS Exchange server 2000. So when an e-mail arrives, it is sent to my BB too. But when the e-mail is written in cyrillic I cannot read it. I found out that when the message is sent as Unicode (Tools --> Options --> Mail Format --> International Options. For MS Outlook) I can read it, otherwise - I can't. But I cannot tell everyone that writes mails to me to do it that way, because not everyone is using Outlook. So is there any option in Exchange that will convert every e-mail that has arrived in Unicode, and that way I could read all cyrillic e-mails on my BB?

I was converting several video files from .avi to .wmv and I came across problems with some of them. Those that were unable to be converted ended up with 0 bytes and if I click on it, it shuts down "my compter" folder completely. How do I get rid of these? I am unable to change my views to thumbnails. I don't find it much of a problem if the files are plainly on my c: drive but when they are within a folder, I can't change the view or get rid of those files.

I want to convert my Compaq Presario 17XL265 laptop from Fat32 to NTFS. I have just upgraded from Windows 98SE to Windows XP Home Edition. When I enter the command to make the conversion (Convert C: /FS:NTFS) I get this message:"Convert can not run because the volume is in use by another process. Convert may run if volume is dismounted first. All open handles to this volume would then be invalid."

The Windows Sysinternals group at Microsoft has released Disk2vhd that is a free physical to virtual converter. Disk2vhd allows you to create VHD (virtual hard dive) files from physical drives on your computer while your system is online. The VHD files generated can be used in Microsoft Virtual PC or on Hyper-V server and you will have an instant clone of your machine running virtually. This is perfect for duplicating a production server for a development virtual machine that you can use on a different computer.
