To Convert a FAT Partition to NTFS without Formatting


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


1) Open 'Command Prompt'. 


2) At the command prompt, type the following- 


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.
