How to change fat 32 into ntfs? ?

Question

in one question i asked for to have more space they say i must change the drive to ntfs but how do i do that? and please more info on everything from where to change it to ntfs and everythings else

Answer 1

You need to type cmd in start -> run. And then in DOS, type

convert c: /fs:ntfs /v

After you convert to ntfs, it's irreversible, so if you still have application that can only run in FAT32, it will not run

Answer 2

Now onto the process itself :

   1. Backup all important files, folders to an external hard drive or DVD.

   2. The conversion process must be initiated in the command prompt so :

          * Click Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.

            OR

          * Click Start -> Run -> Type cmd in the box -> Press enter.

   3. By now the command prompt should have opened up. In case you didn't know, the command prompt is the black screen with white text.

   4. Now type vol followed by the name of the drive you wish to convert

          * Example : For D drive type vol d:

   5. A name and a serial number will be displayed on the screen. Note down the name as you will need it later.

   6. Now type convert (drive letter) /fs:ntfs.

          * Example : To convert D drive to ntfs type convert d: /f:ntfs

   7. In the case that your operating system is on the drive you want to convert, the program will ask whether you would like to schedule the conversion for when the system is restarting. If you would like to do so, Click Yes.

   8. Next, the system will prompt you for the label name of the drive you wish to convert. It will appear as follows :

          The type of file system is FAT.

          Enter the current volume label for drive d: (or whichever drive you chose)

   9. Enter the volume name you noted down earlier and press ENTER.

  10. Once the conversion process is complete you can quit command prompt by typing exit and pressing enter.

  11. Congrats on your new improved NTFS drive!!

GOOD LUCK and GREAT CHOICE GOING TO NTFS
