• Why can't I convert my FAT32 to NTFS file system in Win XP SP3?

  I want to move to Vista and Windows 7.  When I ran the upgrade for Vista, I was told that I had to do a clean install and upgrade option has been disabled due to the FAT 32 from my hard drive file system.  I can't wipe my drive because I have a bunch of stuff and I don't have the storage means to do so.

  I followed the instructions on how to convert without data loss, but when I arrived at the command line and entered ' convert c: / fs:ntsf "I got a message that the drive had to be dismantled and that it translated when I rebooted.  So I've done that and restarted.  The blue screen came and began to convert.  Then there were a bunch of error messages regarding bad sectors or bad files and that it could not be converted.

  I then ran chkdsk and chkdsk /f.  The first chkdsk says that there are errors, but they would not fixed because I didn't run with the extension/f.  So I did this and then said that he had to do a restart.  So I restarted and the chkdsk took forever.  When I got back to my office, I ran the line convert again and now I get something along the line of FAT32 and NTFS conversion are not available.

  So in addition to abandon and wipe my drive, how can I fix my drive?  Of course, chkdsk /f has not helped and not more than chkdsk/r.  I tried the magic of partition, acronis, and anything else I can get my hands.

  What should I do now?

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

  Difference between material FAT & FAT32?

  Difference between material FAT & FAT32?

  First, note that there are three varieties of FAT: FAT12, FAT16, and
  FAT32. Many people call just FAT16 FAT, because before that FAT32 is out.
  FAT16 is the only variety used for hard drives, so just
  The FAT was not enough.

  FAT12 (hardly any more used) had a maximum volume size of 12 MB.
  It has been used almost exclusively for floppy disks.

  FAT16 was used on hard disks (or partitions) up to 4 GB and had a
  cluster size which varied from 2 KB to 64 KB, depending on the size of
  the partition. It serves almost never again, because almost nobody does
  a as small as 4 GB partitions.

  FAT32 FAT16 succeeded and has a maximum drive size of 2 TB. His
  maximum file size is 4 GB, which explains why you can't copy a file of 5 GB to
  it. its cluster size is 4 KB up to an 8 GB partition. Beyond 8 GB the
  cluster size develops up to 32 KB.
  NTFS, that's what almost everyone should use on their hard drives
  today. Its maximum volume size is 2 ^ ^ 64-1 and its maximum file size
  16 × 1024 is ^ ^ 6 bytes (much more than the bigger hard drive available
  today). Cluster size is 4 KB, regardless of the size of the volume.

  I have a disk full of files, and it is in the FAT32 file system. As I can't copy large files (5 GB +) in this player, I intend to fix this by changing the file systems.

  Good! You should.

  Apparently, it is not possible to do it without formatting.

  It's not correct. To convert to NTFS, use you the CONVERT
  command. But first read http://www.aumha.org/a/ntfscvt.htm , because
  There is an important question about the size of cluster that is not obvious.

  Also note that conversion is an important step, touching everything on your
  drive. When you take a big step, no matter how unlikely it is
  always possible that something can go wrong. For this reason, there
  careful to make sure that you have a backup of everything you can not afford to
  lose before you start.

• My xp upgrade window window error 7 "Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space.

  Original title: update my Windows xp to Windows 7.

  Edit: Switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Hi, I'm installing ion window 7 my laptop which is a window XP, when I install on a partition, it says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. What does that mean?

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for the details.

  The error message indicates that you need convert a Partition to the NTFS file system. Because Windows XP supports two disk file systems: the table of allocation of file (FAT) file system and the file system NTFS and Windows 7 supports NTFS only if you need to convert the partition to NTFS first to start the installation.

  You can take the help of the article next to use Convert.exe to convert a Partition to the NTFS file system, and then try to upgrade or install Windows 7.

• Format an external hard drive (1 TB) FAT32 in NTFS file system

  Hello
  I recently bought nine Transcend (TS1TSJ25M3) 1 TB External Hard Drive

  who is in the FAT32 file system. There are currently 930 GB of free space available. I decided to convert 
  it to NTFS File system. So first of all, there is no data in thePlayer(it's free)
  Second, how much space will get after the formatting in NTFS file system?
  And third: is it possible to do it on Windows 7 64-bit OS, or do I have to use another OS?
  Please I need answers to my doubts.

  In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive and select Format. Choose NTFS as method in shape.

  You will have 930MB after formatting. The rule is that you have 7% less space than the nominal capacity, which allows the difference between the ability of manufacturers of discs (1 GB = 10 ^ 6) and the ability of Windows (1 GB = 2 ^ 10) and space unusable, drawn upward by the method in shape.

  If this does not work for you, check the BIOS settings
