Converting FAT into NTFS filesystem

If you are running windows XP or higher version, by default the first installation will suggest you to choose NTFS file system format. If by accident your file system format is Fat or Fat32, you still able to convert into NTFS file system, here is how:

  • Open dos command, goto START | RUN, type CMD followed ENTER; at the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS. e.g C: D: ... Z:
Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.





Note:
I highly recommend you to backup any important data before coverting the filesystem. This tips is not for windows begginers.
