How to convert FAT32 to NTFS format

We all know that the hard disk has two formats: FAT32 and NTF2. And we are currently using NTFS format, NTFS-formatted hard disk with advanced data structure to provide better performance, stability and disk utilization. There are many users in the FAT32 format of their hard disk into NTFS, due to the lack of knowledge of hard disk, resulting in the system into a panic, unable to enter the system.

FAT32 the method of transferring NTFS

Click "Start"-run-enter CMD, enter, a command prompt, convert C:/fs:ntfs at the command prompt, return to the prompt, and then follow the prompts to do it. (You can add/v this parameter)

Case analysis of the system not starting normally after FAT32 to NTFS

Symptom: When you use the Pqmagic software to convert your laptop's hard disk from FAT32 to NTFS, you cannot start from the C disk when you restart your computer. In the BIOS, the boot order is changed to "A,c", the same situation occurs, using the CD-ROM to boot, the failure remains. The entire system in the Self-Test completed after the crash, the screen in addition to the top of the cursor in the blink, there is no sign of any start, while the hard disk lights long bright.

Fault handling: From the symptom analysis, it can be judged that the boot sector master boot record or partition table of the hard disk is destroyed during the conversion process using Pqmagic for FAT32 to NTFS. And the system at the start (regardless of the boot sequence) will get some information about the hard disk, read out of the loop has been read, which is likely to cause the hard drive light on the cause of the long light.

(1) The failure of the hard drive, such as the use of easy drive and other devices connected to the desktop USB interface, boot to Windows to enter the hard disk partitions, with "Dir" command to look at directories and files. No problem found, there appears to be no physical problem with the hard drive. As for the problem that cannot be started, it is almost certain that the boot sector master boot record or partition table of the hard disk is damaged.

(2) Run "Debug" to view the partition table for the hard disk, still not finding the problem, it is possible that the boot sector master boot record for the hard drive has been compromised. Reboot the boot sector master boot record after it has been restored and failed.

The Windows xp/2003 system has a small program-convert.exe that converts fat or FAT32 partitions to NTFS partitions, which is fast, secure, and the data on the partition can be saved. Therefore, I suggest that you do not use pqmagic zoning tools, so as not to cause unnecessary failures.
