Convert FAT to NTFS

To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps.

Click on Start

Click on RUN

Type CMD

Click ENTER

A command prompt window will open


At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.

Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.
NOTE: Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command.
