FAT32 to NTFS, with the convert command without affecting the hard drive data

With NTFS partitioning, you can better manage the disk and improve the security of your system; When the hard disk is in NTFS format, the defragmentation is much faster.

You can choose whether to use NTFS or FAT partitions during the installation process. If you selected fat during installation, you can convert it to NTFS using the following method.

1. Select "Start → run" command, enter "CMD" command in the popup dialog (or point "start → program → accessories → command" prompt), open the Command Prompt window

2. After opening the window, enter at the prompt of the cursor: Convert disk:/fs:ntfs (disk: drive, case), then enter.    Note there is a space after "convert". For example, convert F:/fs:ntfs converts the F drive to NTFS format.

3. Then, if the drive has a volume label, you will be asked to enter the volume label of the disk, and then enter; Supplement: View the Volume Label: right-click disk → properties → general.

If the drive does not have a volume label, it is converted directly.

4. When the conversion is complete, it will report to you the partition of the disk you converted.

3, it is recommended to perform disk scanning, Disk Defragmenter program first.

4. If convert cannot lock the drive (for example, if the drive is a system volume or current drive), it will automatically start converting the drive in front of the table the next time the computer restarts. If you cannot restart the computer immediately to complete the conversion, schedule a restart of the computer and set aside the time required for the conversion process.

If a file on the partition to be converted is being used by the system, the translator will ask you to remove the volume (that is, partition) you want to convert at the time of conversion, it is best to select "No", and finally it will ask you to convert the partition at the next computer startup, select "Yes" and restart the machine to complete the conversion.

5. This allows you to simply convert the partition format to NTFS. This method is only used for FAT32 to NTFS and cannot convert NTFS to FAT32.

6. Convert the file format from FAT to NTFS with the Convert command, and the existing files and folders are intact.
