Parameters
Volume
Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name to convert to NIFS.
/fs:ntfs
The volume must be converted to NTFS.
/V
Specifies verbose mode, in which all messages are displayed during conversion.
/cvtarea:filename
Applies only to advanced users. Specifies that the Master file table (MFT) and other NTFS metadata files are written to adjacent existing placeholder files. The file must be located in the root directory of the file system that you want to convert. If you use the/CvtArea parameter, you can make the converted file system less fragmented. For best results, the size of the file is best 1 KB and the number of files and directories in the file system, but the conversion tool also accepts files of any size.
For more information about using the/CvtArea parameter, see "File Systems" in the Microsoft Windows XP Resource Kit Web site. (http://www.microsoft.com/)
Points
Before you run convert, you must first create a placeholder file using the fsutil file CreateNew command. Convert does not create this file. Convert overwrites this file with NTFS metadata. When the conversion is complete, all unused space in the file is freed. For more information about the fsutil file command, see.
/nosecurity
For security settings for converted files and directories, designate them as accessible to everyone.
/x
If necessary, use this parameter to uninstall the volume before conversion. Any open handles to the volume are no longer valid.
Comments
You must specify the drive that should be converted when you restart the computer. Otherwise, the current drive cannot be converted.
If convert cannot lock the drive (System volume, current drive, and so on), it will actively convert the drive the next time the computer restarts.
The MFT location is different on volumes that have been converted from earlier versions of NIFS. Therefore, the volume may not perform as well as the volume obtained from Windows NT conversion.
A volume converted from FAT to NTFS lacks some performance compared to a volume that was originally formatted with NIFS. On a converted volume, the MFT may become fragmented. In addition, NTFS permissions on the converted boot volume are no longer applicable.
Example
To convert the volume on drive E to NTFS and display all messages, type:
