Disk FAT32 conversion to NTFS issue

Note that all folders and files should be named in English as much as possible. The system itself has this function, start - run input.

Syntax convert [volume] fs:ntfs [ v] [ cvtarea:filename] [ nosecurity] [ x].

Parameter volume

Specify the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name to convert to nifs.

fs:ntfs

The volume must be converted to NTFS.

v Specifies the verbose mode, i.e. all messages will be displayed during the conversion.

cvtarea:filename

Only available for premium users. Specifies that the Master File Table (MFT) and other NTFS metadata files are written to an adjacent existing placeholder file. The file must be located in the root directory of the file system to be converted.

If you use the cvtarea parameter, you can make the converted file system less fragmented. For best results, the file size is best 1 KB multiplied by the number of Chinese parts and directories in the file system, however, the conversion tool also accepts files of any size.

For more information about using the CVTAREA parameter, see File Systems in the Microsoft Windows XP Resource Kit. (

Important Before you can run convert, you must first create a placeholder file using the fsutil file createnew command. convert does not create this file. Convert overwrites this file with NTFS metadata.

When the conversion is complete, any unused space in this file is freed up. For more information about the fsutil file command, see Related topics.

nosecurity

For the security settings of the converted files and directories, specify them to be accessible to everyone.

x Use this parameter to unmount the volume prior to conversion, if desired. Any open handles to the volume are no longer valid.

1. How to convert FAT32 to NTFS format:

Start --Run, type convert x: fs:ntfs -- Enter. **Change.

There is no impact on files or systems. The FAT32 format of the X drive is converted to the NTFS format. x represents the drive letter to be converted to format (e.g., C, D, E, F, etc.).

2. However, NTFS format cannot be converted to FAT32 format. In order to change the NTFS format of a disk (e.g. D drive) to FAT32 format, the D drive must be reformatted. Method:

Restart the computer, press del to enter the BIOS settings CD, boot the CD, and press F10 to exit. Then put in the WinXP installation CD. Restart the computer, and when the process reaches the format section D, select FAT32 format and remove the D box.

The original NTFS format was removed and replaced with the FAT32 format. (A reminder here is that the data in the D drive must be backed up before the D drive is reformatted.) ）。

However, this is not usually done, and the NTFS format is retained. Since you want to change to FAT32 format, this is the only way to do it. Of course, using partitioning software is also possible.

It cannot be transformed in the manner described in 1.

Execute :convert x:fs:ntfs directly in the DOS window

x indicates the drive letter you want to convert, then enter the volume label, if there is no volume label system, just convert, and then you just wait! In addition, close all open disks before conversion.

Start ==Run== Enter Convert X: fs:ntfs Enter, then enter the volume label.

X can be C, D, E, F, etc., when it appears and asks you if you want to unload the reviser select Yes).

Convert FAT volumes to NTFS format.

To convert a specific volume to NTFS format from the command line, perform the following steps:

1.Open the command line mode. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

2.In the command prompt window, type convert Drive Letter: fs:

ntfs。For example, convert d: fs:

The NTFS command will format drive D in NTFS format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS format with this command.

Important Note: Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS format, you cannot recover it back to FAT or FAT32 format. To return to the FAT or FAT32 format, you must reformat the drive or partition and delete all data, including programs and personal files, from the partition.

This requires the converted disk to be emptied and then formatted can be selected very simply.

Start -> run -> input cmd - > input convert *:fs:ntfs

is the disk you want to convert.

That is, your first method.

Go to Run or the command line, type convert c (or the drive letter you want to convert the partition): fs:ntfs, wait for the conversion to complete, if there is no data on the blank disk, it is best to format it directly to ntfs format.

Start -- Run Enter cmd OK.

The command prompt (black background box) opens

Enter the drive letter you want to convert e.g. D: Enter This means entering the directory of the D drive.

Then type convert d: fs:ntfs enter.

"convert c: /fs:ntfs"Just run this command. "c:/"is the drive letter you want to convert. If the disk you want to convert has a program running, it will be automatically converted after restarting.

Right-click on the hard disk you want to format, select Format, and there are corresponding options on the dialog box when it appears!

Transfer useful things to another disk and right-click on the drive letter dot Format in the selected format FAT or NTFS

Open Start -> Run -> Enter cmd -> Enter Enter Convert C (or the drive letter you want to convert the partition): fs:ntfs This is with file conversion, but if you are converting a system disk, you need to restart.

Non-system disks can be directly right-clicked on the drive letter to format NTFS This is the fastest way to delete all files.

If there are no useful files in the partition, format the drive letter directly, select "ntfs," in the file system, of course, the system drive letter is not allowed. This is the easiest.

Several conversion methods: Convert is a system-provided conversion command that can be converted to NTFS format losslessly in XP system.

PQMico can also convert data losslessly.

First of all, if ntfs is converted directly through the command line, it is certainly not as simple as formatting, and there is no formatting ***.

Start running cmd in the bottom left corner

convert x:/fs:ntfs

X is the disk to be changed, FAT or NTFS is lossless, no need to format it, and there is no need to move the file.

It is not recommended to convert DOS down, if you are not in a hurry to reformat once, it is not stable.

It is not possible to format NTFS directly by right-clicking on the drive letter.

Transfer the data to another disk or USB flash drive.

Then use DiskGenius to convert to NTFS format.

Win+R

cmdconvert c: fs:ntfs v (preceded by c disk conversion, other drive letters change c: to the drive letter to be converted).

Format, click on the new partition from the new one, see fat32 and ntfs will appear on it.

Formatting, select NTFS when you are in the grid, and you need to be in the DOS environment.

A converted D disk is used as an example.

Start running cmd enter.

Enter the command convert d: (with spaces) fs:ntfsy to confirm that the pure hand play is complete.

This method must work, I personally tested it!! You can use the system's built-in conversion tool to convert, fat32 to NTFS format: Run in the start menu, type convert x:

fs:ntfs x is the disk you want to convert, for example: f disk, enter convert f: fs:ntfs v prompts to enter the volume label, then type the name of the disk up, and then press enter (if there is no volume label, press enter directly) prompts whether to remove the volume y to be converted, and then press enter:

Prompt whether to convert partition y on the next computer startup, and then press enter, it should be noted that the name of the disk The label cannot use the Chinese name, you need to change the Chinese name to English or delete the volume label directly before conversion, and then convert, otherwise the conversion may be wrong!
