How to convert a FAT16 or FAT32 volume to an NTFS file system and back again.

fat32-to-ntfs: Enter cmd and then convert x: fs:

ntfs (x: is the partition drive letter to be converted) is automatically converted the next time the system starts. However, there are two minor drawbacks to this transformation:

1.In fact, it can't be regarded as a weakness, mainly after being converted into NTFS, the system defaults to everyone users have full permissions to all directories and files, in fact, fat32 has acquiesced to all users access! For security reasons, the security features need to be reset.

For some important files, the full permissions of everyone users should be revoked. 2.After converting the NTFS partition, the first time it may easily produce disk fragmentation.

Before converting the disk to NTFS partition, you must pay attention to whether it is a multi-system, whether there is a system that does not know NTFS partition such as Win9X and ME installed, if it is installed, then the C disk must not be converted to NTFS partition, and the original FAT partition must be maintained. The logical partition in the extended partition can be converted to NTFS partition except for the partition with Win9X ME system installed. NTFS-FAT32 So far, the more commonly used method is to use PQ magic for conversion (you can also use Acronis' partation expert, English version, but fully support Chinese), but be sure to note that if there are Chinese directories and files, they must be centralized and packaged into a compressed package with English names with winrar, otherwise these Chinese directories and files will be inaccessible! Come from.

In Start-Run, type cmd followed by convert x: fs:ntfs

The NTFS format can be modified to FAT32 by formatting.

1. Place the USB flash drive.

Plug in your PC and open Computer.

2. Right-click the name of the USB flash drive that needs to be converted.

3. Click "Format".

4. File system.

Select "fat32".

5. Click "Start".

6. Wait for the formatting to complete.

Format Conversion Steps:

Step 1: Right-click on the USB flash drive letter and select Format.

Step 2: Select the file system in the format window and select the format you want to convert.

Step 3: Tick the Quick Format option in the formatting options below.

Step 4: Click "Start" to start the formatting, wait for the formatting to be completed, and the USB flash drive format will be converted successfully.

One way: use the pure version of the XP system, when installing the system, it can be repartitioned, and the NTFS format can be used when formatting, and after formatting, you can forcibly exit, select the one-click ghost system to reinstall, or you can continue to install the pure version of the XP system.

Another way: Windows XP natively supports NTFS partitions, and the security and disk management of using NTFS partitions is better than other partition formats. When installing Windows XP, the system will automatically let you choose whether to convert an existing partition to NTFS partition, if you didn't choose at that time, and now you want to convert your hard disk to NTFS, in addition to using tools such as Partition Magic, there is actually a simpler and more practical way.

1.Click on the "Start Program Attachments Command" prompt (This is a DOS-like boundary built into Windows XP.)

surface, all the internal instruction statements are basically the same as those under DOS).

2.Once the window opens, type "covert c: fs:ntfs" at the cursor's prompt and press enter. Notice that there is a space after "covert".

3.You will then be asked to enter the label of the C drive and press Enter. The volume label can be found by clicking on the C drive in "My Computer" and then looking at its properties.

This makes it easy to convert the partition format to NTFS. This method is only used to convert FAT32 to NTFS, not to FAT32.

Formatting, there are options to format into that form, far ntfs formatting on the line.
