Converting a FAT32 drive to NTFS file system
If some of the drives on your SOURCE computer are using the FAT32 file system, they should be
converted into the NTFS file system in order to ensure a reliable transfer. Do the following for
each of the FAT32 partitions:
1.
Open a command prompt by going to Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories ->
Command Prompt
2.
In the command prompt, type the following command and press enter:
convert c: /FS:NTFS
3.
If you are asked to provide a "volume label", type in the label the drive has as seen in My
Computer. For example, if My Computer has "Drive C: [My Drive]", you need to type in "My
Drive".
4.
Answer YES to question about “volume in use, do you wish to force?”
5.
Answer YES to question about “system volume, schedule for next boot?”
6.
Restart your computer
7.
When windows begins to start , let it do a disk check (it will show the message “the type of
the filesystem is FAT, press any key to cancel disk check” - do NOT press any key at this
stage )
8.
Once a disk check is done, conversion to NTFS will begin. This may take some time. Wait for
it to finish
