• 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.

• 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 open the location of the file in a new window?

  Why can not open a file in a new location window?

  If I searched only Im capable of 'place to open the file' of a particular file.

  If this is not what I am asking, I have to tap the arrow to the left to return to the search, but must be re - search all folders again!

  It can take ages if on a large file structure.

  TIA

  If you use the default search parameters, it shouldn't have the search again (it should save the results).

  However, here is a tip that I would try if it was me: hold the Alt key and double-click the file, and then click 'Open file location' in this area. It's an extra step, but it retains the original file open.

• Why can't I managed to install the iso file in my USB? I've tried different usb and hard drives and disassembled a lot or time usb but when, it comes up with an error copying the files on and it stops loading? What should I do?

  Why am I unable to download and copy iso files that need to go into the USB drive, it always comes up with an error when copying the installation files and none of the solutions have worked (some of the things I've tried are different from the USB, disassemble and repeat the download process windows files)

  You cannot use a simple USB as a source and destination. You must copy the ISO file (it's a single file, not the full installer) in your Documents folder and then run BCA to create a USB installation program. 2015 macs do not create a USB installation program.

• 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!

  Answer please if you face concerns.
