should execution of fat32 file system I change to NTFS V3.1?
I SEE THAT THIS IS RECOMMENDED IN HELP AND SUPPORT...
What a difference it will be, I will notice?
Here is a short answer. And here is a comparison chart. Best I can tell from experience, the biggest hard drive and the larger the size of the files, you work with the more about NTFS shines Fat32. I believe that NTFS has better chances of recovering files if the sectors on the disk are spoiled.
I never did a conversion from Fat32 to NTFS. I have just chosen than what I wanted during the initial installation. I mention this because I've heard some horror stories of people lose data during conversion. If you decide to convert it, I suggest you do a complete backup before we do.

Some time ago I encrypt my jpeg with password file. I changed the operating system yesterday. by the operating system to format I lost my certificate EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) and at the moment I have no backup certificates. so please help me, can I recover my data. If yes how?
Hello
Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft community forums!
If your encryption key is lost or damaged and you don't have a way to recover your data, the data is lost. Also, you will lose data if you store your encryption key on a smart card and the smart card is damaged or lost. To make sure you can always access your encrypted data, you should back up your encryption certificate and key.

HOW TO FORMAT A FILE SYSTEM RAW PEN DRIVE TO THE FAT32 FILE SYSTEM
I have an of Sandisk USB key that is formatted by Místek in raw Format, so plaese tell me that how I can convert it from raw to fat 32 System. I await your response.
Thank you.
USB and SD drives readers are better formatted with a tool specifically designed for this purpose. HP has a tool with external USB drives in mind and can format FAT32 or NTFS. Looking for a. EXE file downloaded from the Internet can be a bit daunting, so I downloaded the copy I use on my SkyDrive and made available on the link below.
It is a stand-alone. EXE which requires no installation runs. Note that you need to provide administrator rights to use the above. This provides the elevated permissions necessary for formatting on a Windows 7 system.On a related note, DD disks must be formatted with a special formatting tool that keeps the reserved protected area that allows them is set (the S in SD). The best place for an SD card formatting tool is SDCard.org on the link below. -

Difference between material FAT & FAT32?
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. Apparently, it is not possible to do it without formatting. I am curious about a way to do this without destroying the drive.
Thanks in advance.

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

Format an external hard drive (1 TB) FAT32 in NTFS file system
Hello
I recently bought nine Transcend (TS1TSJ25M3) 1 TB External Hard Drivewho 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. -

Hard drive stuck in the RAW file system.
So I had a problem with my slave drive being stuck in the RAW file system when I formatted my master drive. So I disconnected the slave drive and formatted the master once again and once all updates have been installed, I plugged the slave back in. He's still stuck in RAW format. I tried to use Norton Partition Magic, and he reads a BAD. Is it possible to change the same RAW to NTFS or FAT32 file system?
The indication that the file system is RAW usually means that there is a corruption of the file system structures. How to go on recovery depends on the value you are asking about the data on the disk. If your budget of time or money is over and the data of low value or backed up.
Go to start all programs accessories and click on the command line. When the window opens, type
cmd
CHKDSK D: /f /rNote: D: is the letter of the drive to check. Replace the appropriate letter. When the process is finished, type
OutputGo to my computer to see if it was repaired enough to at least get a list of directories.
If no joy, go to the web site of the manufacturer of the disk. Looking for a utility to check the disk and make a low-level format ". Follow their instructions. After that, do a format to NTFS.
If this fails, it is likely that the disc will need to be replaced.
Remember, there are tools (the disk sector editors, etc.) that you can use to read and sometimes at least recover some data. It requires appropriate knowledge and considerable patience. Alternatively, there are services - quite expensive data recovery.

standby of the comments file system create two snapshot files
Why would or should suspend the comments file system create two snapshot files.
In our environment, we have the following VMDK.
Syntest.VMDK
Syntest_1.VMDK
Syntest_2.VMDK
Syntest_3.VMDK
Syntest_4.VMDK
When I create a snapshot that suspends the comments file system it creates two syntest_1 - 000001.vmdk and syntest_1.000002.vmdk (as well as all of the files for snapshots). Here is a screenshot.
Why and is at - it something wrong? I can find a ton of articles on stereotypes, but nothing that speaks.
We are currently on ESXi 5.1.0,1157734.
Thank you
Mike
Out of curiosity. Are two snapshots created even when you create the snapshot manually?
With backup applications, this behavior is not uncommon. The first snapshot is created for the virtual machine write them changed data, while the current is/instant backup, and the second snapshot is created by the backup software to attach the virtual disk basic to the host/proxy backup as "independent - not persistent. Once the virtual disk is disconnected from the proxy the second snapshot will be discarded and then the first snapshot will be validated for the basic disk.
CBT information should not be reset somehow, but updated as changed during the backup data.

file system question for cam action DRH-AS30V adapters
The microSDHC card provided with this camera is formatted to support the FAT32 file system, and so is limited to 4 GB files. I need to know if the camera formats cards differently adapters. What cards adapters format camera for the exFAT file system? Thank you!
Each time an SDXC card is inserted, the action cam uses the format instead of the format FAT32 exFAT. In fact, the device to which you connect the cam action (more an SDXC card inserted) must also support exFAT file system. Otherwise, the action cam / card will not be read correctly.

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.

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.

0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem
So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update. So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything. It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista. I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck. When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing. So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1. He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1. Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:
"System restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "
then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time. If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it. I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.
If you need more information please let me know and evil provides everything I can
HelloFollow the steps and check if the problem persists.Step 1:I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-offhttp://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.Step 2:As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.Aziz Nadeem - Microsoft Support[If this post was helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful" (green triangle).

Hello
Step 1:I suggest you start in safe mode, and then you would be able to choose which version of Windows that you want to start in. See below section to start in safe mode-
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222Step 2:
After entering in safe mode, you can try to use system restore to return to a previous point, until the software has been installed.Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.
