• FAT32 can convert my NTFS file system?

  my computer is in FAT32 instead of NTFS file system and it won't let me format it, what should I do?

  my computer is in FAT32 instead of NTFS file system and it won't let me format it, what should I do?

  First of all. Note that your * computer * is not FAT32, it is your hard disk which is FAT32. You may have several diosk readers and some could be some FAT32 and NTFS.

  Second, you cannot format your drive from Windows; It is like cutting the branch of a tree, on which you sit.

  Third, why do you want to get in shape? To reinstall Windows or simply to change to NTFS? If you want to reinstall Windows, boot from the Windows CD and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will begin by formatting the drive for you.

  But if you just want to change your drive to the NTFS format, use 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.

  Note also 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, it is prudent to make sure that you have a backup of everything you can't afford to lose before you start.

  Hi Maddy,

  This problem may occur if the Windows startup files are damaged or missing.

  If your computer has integrated system recovery options, you can try to perform the Startup Repair and check if it helps.

  If it fails, you must have a Windows Vista installation disc and try to parade Startup Repair boot from the disc.

  If the problem persists, try the steps in the article to rebuild BCD, boot from the installation disc.

  Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows

  Because you replaced the hard drive, you can also get in contact with the Dell helpdesk for assistance.

  Hope the helps of information.

• 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.

• Use restore disk errors impossible C and error checking failed to open NTFS file system. Pleas help

  I try to use System. restore and it says drive C contains errors, you should check the drive for errors before you can restore it. When I run an error check it say this type of file system is NTFS: cannot open the volume for direct access. Thanks for any help.

  Hello GregID,

  My recommendation based on your response is to do the following:

  1. Click Start and type 'CMD' in the search bar.
  2. Right-click on the cmd finds it and choose "Run as Administrator"
  3. Type ' CHKDSK/f' and press on it, if it says restart.

  This should allow the system to run CHKDSK in the window that is already open.

  Best regards

• Windows xp pro sp3 will not start corrupted boot.ini and hal.dll - please help

  I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

  These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

  1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

  How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

  2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

  3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

  Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER. (DAT) in your profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Andre\NTUSER. (DAT) and make sure you have full control over the key.  In the advanced security settings to ensure that the child objects are inherit permissions from the parent and put a check mark on "replace entries permissions for all child objects...". "Click on apply and OK your way out.  See here for easy to follow instructions for loading and editing of remote registry hives: http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm make sure you unload the hive when you're done, otherwise the changes will not be saved.

  These parasites can also revoke permission on the other key of registry and system files, you can use SubInACL to restore your permissions on these key objects, see here for more information:

• 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?

  Hi sweetp267,

  Try these steps and check the result.
  a. connect to the admin user account.
  b. Click Start, run, type cmd and click ok.
  (c) in the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER: CONVERT C:/FS: NTFS /V
  d. check the difference.

  The /V will verbose mode and can give more information, if it fails. A restart will be required because the drive is currently in use by the operating system.

• Can I transfer files from computer XP with FAT 32 file system to computer XP with NTFS file system?

  I'm trying to transfer files from one computer to the other, both with XP.  Former is set up with the file system FAT 32. new using NTFS.  When I copy the files on thumb drive FAT 32 to and try and transfer to computer NTFS, files transfer, but nothing in them.  This does mean that I can't make such a transfer, or is there something I am doing wrong.  THX.

  Y at - it files of 4 GB or more large size?  It's the only thing I can think of that could cause a problem, but I only expect to see only when copying from NTFS to FAT32.

  When the files disappear?  They are on the Flash DRIVE?

  How did you copy the file to the USB of the first computer?  How do copy you them from the USB drive to the second computer?

  Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > view and configure it to display the hidden files and folders.  Does that help: owner, Boulder computer Maven

• How can I change the NTFS file system to say fat so my TV will read the HD Ext USB files? Thank you

  Using Vista, downloaded a movie on 2GB USB flash drive and Iomega 1 TB HARD drive then strove to connect both in TV Grundig.

  Read file ok but wouldn't play film "says cannot read the file format" all clues please? For your info I have 63 years if my grandson was here 6 years old it would probably sort fast time, but I can't! :)

  Hi Norman,

  After you convert a partition to NTFS (New Technology File System), you can not convert back. If you want to use the FAT (File Allocation table) file system on the partition again, you will need to reformat the partition, and this will erase all data on it.

  Click on the link mentioned below as reference.

  Good day!

• Apple and legacy applications file system?

  Hello

  I heard that Apple will release Apple (SATF) filesystem in 2017.

  I'm sorry, I have no idea what it means for my system. Will be my apps (I got a few apps too, and the apps that I don't have form the Mac App Store) continue to work?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best regards, Fabian

  The release of a new file system has nothing to do with your applications, so they will still work correctly if you start to use it (even if you need to check that your applications are supported whenever you upgrade OS X)

  Hello

  Backup of critical data to removable media NOW.

  Once saved, open and high command prompt. To do this, click on start and type CMD, then right click on the menu entry that appears and choose "Run as Administrator". Click on continue in the UAC prompt. At the prompt, run:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  You will receive a message that the drive cannot be locked, followed by a command prompt to perform this routine when the system is restarted. Type Y and press . Finish and exit command prompt and restart the system. This extensive routine should then run and fix the problems of file system.

  There's a chance is perhaps not able to correct them, in which case you will need to start over with a fresh install after removing and rebuild the volume of the system (which explains why you back up the data before beginning this process because sometimes it is not recoverable to a chkdsk has failed).
