Changing FAT into NTFS without loosing data
Changing file system FAT into NTFS
guys mostly when when change our file systme FAT16 or FAT32 into NTFS ... we have to format our drive.. it means when if we want to change our partition file system we loose our data... but not n e more now here is the solution
To change from FAT 32 to NTFS file system for more stability, security and less fragmentation, open the command prompt and type:
Convert C: /FS:NTFS
"C" being the drive you wish to convert. Make sure there is a space between the C: and the foward slash (/). Once you press enter it will ask you for confirmation and press Y. Then press Y and enter once more to reboot.. This also works for windows XP Home.
