Please can you tell me how i change from fat 32 to ntfs file system.

Thanks JM

Press Windows R, write cmd and hit enter. You only need to write down one command: convert c: /fs:ntfs where c: is the drive that you want to convert. Just change c to whatever drive you want to convert. The conversion will start after rebooting the machine. All data on that drive will still be available after the conversion from FAT32 to NTFS.

That said, I have done that exact same procedure several time without incident. But still, problems can occur. So I recommend you back up any data you don't want to lose, just in case something happens during the conversion - which is a vulnerable time. Not a good time for a power outage! Yet another reason for all to computers to be on a good UPS with AVR, but that's for another discussion.

Also, I generally recommend running chkdsk /r from a command prompt before converting to make sure there are no problems on the disk first. Follow the prompts to allow the process to run at next boot, then reboot. This process can take several hours. Note, you can see what the various switches do by entering chkdsk /?

If you prefer to not use a command (MS-DOS) prompt, you can run "Error Checking" from the drive's properties menu under My Computer. This is the same as using the /f switch is chkdsk, which is nearly as thorough as /r.

I have done as above but command prompt says, the type of file system is fat 32,enter current volume label for drive c:
How do i do this please,

Hi. I cannot help you on this problem. It has worked for me. I hope someone will come a long to help you. Digerati may be able to help.

The volume label simply the name you want it to be. I usually call my boot drive System, but you can just leave it blank.

Your tips work,many thanks everybody
