Veritas 1 Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 use the command prompt to enter "convert (driveletter):\ /fs:ntfs" without the quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premgenius Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I don't understand your second post. Basically connect your Hard Drive find out the drive letter, click Start >> Run and type in convert <driveletter>: /fs:ntfs this command will covert your hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS without formatting your hard drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
