Vs FAT32 NTFS

I use windows vista operating system. I have a nikon coolpix5700 camera that uses the fat32 file system. VIsta is NTFS. How can I read something that has been saved on FAT32 using a NTFS file system?

How a drive is formatted isn't a factor to determine whether or not you can read a file. Have you tried to install the software?

    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

  • Formatting NTFS in FAT32, questions.

    I have a WD 3 TB my book, it is used on a PC to download video files (Mp4, MOV, etc.). When I login to 'my book' to a MAC I can't write external hard disk at all. I can only watch some content and cannot add or delete files. I think that I need to format it in FAT32 NTFS so I can work on both PC & Mac, is it true? If I do that it will destroy all files currently on the disc? I have to limit the size of files that I can download later?

    Thank you!

    Yes, but why are the ways to take the reader to a Windows computer to reformat FAT32 because you cannot do it on a Mac because it cannot write on a NTFS formatted drive. Or you can buy a utility that allows OS x write on an NTFS drive - Paragon NTFS for Mac® 14.

  • Can I switch from FAT32 to NTFS

    My current file system is FAT32. My XP is installed on the C drive. Now, I've heard that NTFS is better than FAT32. So I intend to change my file system during my next XP Reinstall. Issues related to the:

    1. If I have NTFS in lecteurC so can I access my data from readers who are still in FAT32. Possible or better to format all disks to NTFS.

  • Recovery Media Creator and USB

    I try to use "Recovery Media Creator' loading on a 16Gig USB drive.
    The program insert me a greater than 12 Gig USB flash drive ask what I do.

    He said while the drive will be formatted and then comes up with "Format Failed (Error Code: 040E49-04-00000000)" and the USB key becomes illegible. Using disk of Windows & tool management I can then format the drive and use it becomes usable with the exception of "Recovery Media Creator".

    I formatted in FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, but none does.
    I tried two USB flash drives, both the same behavior.

    As far as I know, there are no partitions on the disk and I used successfully "Recovery Media Creator" on one of the disks in the past. I want the files to restore another computer, something I've done successfully before.

    I can burn data using DVD but the DVD did not work so I want to try the USBs. I have read some threads in this direction but have not found the answers to date. I'm sure that there is a simple explanation but I'm not.

    Usually, the creation of recovery using the USB flash key support should work fine.

    I read in some other threads that the preinstalled anti-virus software could cause similar problems... so I recommend you to disable the antivirus and other security software... so this should work

    Other guy says that delete the partition entirely and create a new simple volume would also work.

  • Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

    Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

    After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

    Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

    Hello

    I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

    Hello

    I don t think that the BIOS could be faulty
    I see that you have installed the Windows XP operating system on this laptop.

    To my knowledge, this series was pre-installed with the Vista operating system and I guess that the BIOS cannot fully support the XP operating system.

    Why use the fat32 file system? XP supports NTFS also so I would recommend using NTFS on all partitions.

    I m not a L350 owner but I have another laptop series. I ve also created a backup image of my system using Norton Ghost partition.

  • Z580 i5, 500 GB with no windows 7 - default partition size.

    Hello everyone.

    I spent the last 3 hours of googling and reading this forum especially for all information on the system of the okr and the size of the partition.

    unfortunly, I wasn't aware of the importance of the drive d partition and I wiped it and it has merged drive c.

    After a few experemiting with the sizes of the partitions, I was able to use the okr system and create a back up of my system (windows 7 ulitmate). However when I try to use the back up to restore my pc it says that I can't move forward because the size of partition is not default.

    I want to know is what was the partitions by default in order to get the okr system works properly.

    If any lenovo emploey can check the z580 with 500 GB model, with no partitions windows 7, I will be verry gratefull.

    I remember that I got 4 partitions at startup:

    1. no system of labels with boot partition files (as I remember it was 29-30 gb)

    2 C drive - with close to 400 GB.

    3. d-arround 30 GB drive (used for the lenovo system okr I think).

    4. last disc is 1.5 GB with some software from lenovo.

    Please if any1 buys a new Z580 500 GB, pls write on this thread what was your default partitions (exact size + type of partition: fat32/ntfs etc.).

    Thanks for reading and I hope that a good person can help me cope with this problam.

    OK, after much reading on the forum here, I was able to find a some1 post, which was close enough problam as I had and I did as he suggested, and it worked.

    Allow me to explain people what I did for any1 who could be on the same problam like me:

    first of all, let me say what I had at the time of the problam of partitions:

    1. with no label - system partition (containing the boot system files) - used to be 29 gb.

    2 drive c-400 GB (location of windows 7).

    3. d-ntfs partition 29,32 gb drive

    4 lenovo-part - partition (hidden, and btw I have not touched it since I baught pc) 1.08 GB.

    what I've done is pretty simple:

    1. I reinstalled everything first OKR disc system I got with the pc.

    2. with a partition management program, I deleted the d drive partition and gave all its space on the system partition.

    what I once changes is therefore:

    1 partition-arround 60 GB system.

    2 drive c: 400Go

    3. lenovo-part 1.08.

    Anyway, at this time, I was able to create my system restore by using System okr but also to recover using the recovery at startup mode.

    hope this helps any1.

  • boot.ini Collectors Edition

    Why was my first tutor so interested in making points on the boot.ini file. ? 1999. even now, after 13 years, I continue to look to save her and sometimes change to try to understand how this small file has a great impact on the startup of the operating system. I always remember him NT2000 started the A: drive with this small file on the floppy disk. He was so proud of how he had dual boot systems and everything seemed to depend on this small file. even now, I think on the partitions and have often created many different variants on HDDs over the years. The perfect balance is something I want to achieve. often coming through the Interior on FAT FAT32 NTFS issues and the timing of all these events regarding product release dates, and if it was important to know when we had the FAT and NORTON. On NTFS it seems you cannot increase the 8000 MB NORTON has NEED OF MASSIVE FILE ACTIVITY TRACK EVENTS. I have so uninstall and start again. I could talk all day on me experiences during the last 13years more which would probably fall on the deaf ears and not really say anything, since most people just give up and buy the next best thing. I just get the feeling there is some true die hards out there waiting for a miracle to happen and let them through in the NEXT GENERATION 32/64 PENT 4 AND beyond. David.

  • DualBOOT WinXP and Win98

    I tried to do for about 2 weeks, market and trying to get Windows 98SE & Windows XP dualboot correctly. I had success but am still not satisfied. Here's what I tried.

    1st attempt:
    -Essentially have a base with 2 primary partitions drive - a (Win98) one FAT32 NTFS (Windows XP). First, I installed Windows 98 on C: (FAT32), then installed Windows XP later on D: (WinXP). It was all great job for awhile and after some time I suddenly wasn't able to boot in Windows 98. Something had changed during the installation of programs over several days, so I restarted from scratch once again.

    2nd attempt:
    -Basic disk I had on a set of primary partition of 500 MB to active for just Boot (C: FAT32), about 1/3 of a primary partition for Windows 98 (E: FAT32) and about 2/3 of a primary partition for Windows XP (NTFS D :). Of course, I installed on the disks appropriate using C to boot to XP system files and 98. Installed XP first on D: and 2nd Win98 on E: - then I could only start XP again and Windows 98 was not able boot upward as he wanted to BE D: drive because Win98 is unable to see NTFS partition and think that there was nothing there so my boot.ini file were conflicts with that.

    3rd ATTEMPT (successful):
    After frustration, pulling on my hair and such things, I said screw it. I did an active primary partition (2/3 c: FAT32) and a 2nd primary partition (1/3 d: FAT32). So I installed Windows XP on C: first and Win98 on D: - it's all good and dandy except... I want my XP in NTFS security!

    AN IDEA: So right now, I say to myself, screw the partitions, equip a 2nd hard drive (primary slave / primary master). Master on XP NTFS, slave on 98 FAT32 - both primary partitions and can be active (or not?). But now I wonder if even that will work as loads off C: the boot for WinXP/98, and Windows 98 is an atheist, when it comes to NTFS partitions - they simply do not exist.

    ANOTHER IDEA: Find a decent boot loader. I've heard a lot of GRUB, but I wonder if this is the way to go because it seems that GRUB is used mainly for Linux/Unix dualboots.

    Here's WHAT I WANT: I want a WinXP NTFS (for security reasons) and a Win98 FAT32 work. Usually my Windows XP is about 2/3 of the space system and Windows 98 is of about 1/3 the space system.

    For all partitions to dualboot I use a 60 GB so you do the math. I have a spare 40 GB I thought put in Windows 98 separate conflict still further, but for some reason any after my failures, that it doesn't seem like I'm going to avoid conflicts...

    WHY THE TROUBLE? : you can ask - I just want to be able to play old games on Windows 98 with DX8.1 and have a working system of XP for all newer games (which are still old...) - in other words to benostalgic.

    Other questions on the installation made me know.

  • NAS200 shows "No fromatted" and the use of disk on MAC?

    Hi, I just bought NAS200 it was a bargain for $109 at the Frys.com. I want to do wireless backup with backup large 2-3 to SATA drive. So I bought 1 x 1.5 TB and 1 x 1 TB Seagate barracuda SATA drive. Some how I am so confused to use it with MAC I did different things to operate including firmware update. I case Thermaltake SATA 2 bays and I made the disk of 1 TB in MAC format using disk utility but NAS200 is not recognize it.

    My goal of buying the NAS200 has storage wireless and it is fast and I want to store the files in the way I'm storing in USB drive with journaled MAC OS X file system and do not use FAT or NTFS etc.

    How to access these drives in MAC is also an important issue for me and I did a lot of research on Google and finally came here to better understand things.

    I've read a few articles on the configuration of SMB that is made, but because the disk is not formatted, it has does not work properly.

    Please help me.

    I think that NAS200 support FAT32, NTFS and EXT. If you have formatted your drive using MAC OS, then I think he should have formatted your drive's format of HSF. Now, you must delete the partition HSF type and connect the drive directly to the NAS200 without formatting, then the format of the player using the NAS200.

    Once you configure all the settings on your NAS200 and set the disk, then you must map the drive on your MAC computer using smb.

Just wondering if you can get it even start without at least 1 Reader installed.

    Well, it plugged in, it starts, and it starts fine. Once I plugged a USB at the back once it was connected to my network. All I had to do was to format in FAT32 NTFS and it works fine. Even updated the firmware using the integrated very well. Overall pretty happy, I can use my external drives until I get some internal parts SATA for the NAS.

  • WRT610N and compatible usb drives

    Hello

    Has someone managed to get a stable connection to the external hard drive USB on the WRT610N?

    I would use a hard drive enclosure that turns down the drive with a sleep mode for reasons of noise and energy.

    With the latest firmware (1.00.02 B10) I tried:

    Western Digital My Book essential 1 TB - the router is not even mount the external hard drive.  I tried everything... FAT32, NTFS... waited, plugged the USB in and out, power cycled the router...

    Any help would be appreciated, because I spent countless hours trying to get something to work.

    OK, I finally have a system of USB storage to work with a hard drive that goes to sleep.

    Looks like there's a previous WRT610N that does not have a version 1 on the stamp on the underside of the router.  This router did not work well with my hard drives.  I'm a worm 1 WRT610N and use mounts (1.00.00 B18) F/W, The Western Digital My Book essential 1 TB factory delivered and everything works fine.  On the USB data rates are approximately 2.4 MB/s via wireless with security AES .n and 5 MB/s via ethernet cable.  Funny is that more recent (1.00.02 B10) firmware will not mount drive Western Digital My Book.  Interesting that in the version notes it says «enhanced recognition of USB external hard drives»  Well, at least I'm happy with something that works; 4 weeks and many hours.  Unfortunately, Linksys does no more than F/W on their website, so I'll never upgrade in case I lose the ability to connect to my new hard drive.

  • NSLU2 drive connected to WRT610N

    I have a 500 GB USB drive that I used to have connected to a NSLU2.  Replaced that (and my old router) with a WRT610N.  The 610 sees the drive, but wants to format.  Don't the 610 does not support the file system used by the NSLU2?  Known issue / workaround?  Latest firmware on 610.

    Thank you-

    Keep in mind that the wrt610 only supports Fat32 and NTFS has been added just recently. With regard to your hard drive you don't know not what file system, it is currently formatted as? By default the NSLU2 formats using the EXT3 file system, but an update of the firmware enabled file systems fat32/NTFS use. I hope that answers your question.
