YOU CANNOT CONVERT "NTFS" PARTITION TO "FAT32" using Convert command.\n\n You can convert FAT partition To Either NTFS or FAT32 But not Vice-Versa. and also conversion from Fat32 to NTFS or Vice-versa is  impossible. \n\nThe best solution to your problem is to make an image of your current partition (which is NTFS and u wat to convert to FAT32) with HDD image (backup) software like Norton Ghost or Nero BackItUp (u can use other's even) .Once you have taken the image (backup) of your partition on DVDs/CDs; Format that partition by making it as FAT32 File System. Now restore the image that you had taken on the formatted partition and All software that you required will be restored in the same condition as you had backed it up. You don't need to install any OS or application.. It will look like the same OS and Application suite , as u had before taking image.

In NTFS (new technology file system) you get more options like encrypting data and more and you can have unlimited hard drive unlimited partitions and in FAT you don't have any more options and you cannot have hard drive more than 108 GB.\n                                             hope it helps

if your thumbdrive is formatted using ntfs, chances are you will not be able to use it unless you are the administrator and you have full rights to it.  however, you can use your workstation(provided you are a local administrator in your pc), connect the thumbdrive and change the ownership of the files therein and the drive itself.  otherwise, you may need to reformat your thumbdrive.

Do you mean format or Wipe??? W2K/XP will format the drive for you during setup - It will prompt you always go with NTFS as it is far more stable than FAT32!! To zero or wipe a drive. To get rid of a virus Etc. Killdisk works well - I run it twice if there is a virus. See sources.

Yeah.... Disk Director is a good choice. It can accomplish this task easily and quickly. But why you need to have fat32 file system? Note that if you have fat32 system you aren't able to have files larger than 4 gigs on your pc.

Plug the drive in, right click My computer and choose manage, detect the drive, and format it NTFS or FAT32

Try using the FORMAT command. The Syntax may vary depending on your version of Windows.\n\nIt should be: FORMAT X: /FS:FAT\n\nWhere X: is the drive letter assigned to your card.

There is no need for the external drive to be NTFS....NTFS recognises FAT32. You can back up from a computer which has a NTFS hard drive onto a FAT32 external hard drive (in an enclosure). The NTFS will see the FAT 32 Drive & you can drag & drop both ways.\nA Computer using FAT32 cannot recognise /backup to a NTFS external drive but NTFS can recognise & backup onto a FAT32 aswell as a NTFS external drive.\nThis is why you are having difficulty finding an NTFS external drive because FAT32 (unlike NTFS) is compatible for computers using either NTFS or FAT32 & is the best one to get.

Use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder to reformat it.\n\nOpen Disk Utility\nHighlight your volume in the sidebar\nclick the Erase tab\nchoose "MS-DOS" for format\nclick Erase\n\nDisk Utility will automatically choose FAT-32 or FAT-16, depending on your disk size.  Your 100 Gig disk will be formatted in FAT-32 format.

Any version of Linux should be able to read a NTFS and FAT32 File System.  There should be no time limits or other measures limiting you.\n\nMake sure you've mounted the volumes correctly, or you will not be able to view them.\n\nPlease provide us with the current version/distribution of Linux you're using, because the GUI will be different per distribution.\n\nIf you require additional assistance, email us at techsupport@thepcmonitor.com

I would suggest fat32 if you are planning on using your usb drive in computers other than Windows NT/2000 or newer.  Fat32 will provide you with the greatest portability between computers and operating systems.

You can use a linux live CD to format almost any partition scheme you want (live meaning that the OS runs off of a CD), here is one I use regularly, it has saved my computer/data several times, you will need a CD burner, and burning software that can burn .ISO disc image files (like NERO, or Record Now!):\nhttp://slax.linux-live.org/\n\nIf you want to completely wipe/zero out your hard drive, you can use this software (note that your hardrive will be completely erased, and all data on it will be unrecoverable, even by the best professionals):\nhttp://dban.sourceforge.net/\n\n............AND\ngojurokusai, I know what you are talking about, what it is saying, is that if you have formated a drive as NTFS, you cannot change it back to FAT32 without loosing data, however, you can "upgrade" your EXISTING FAT32 to NTFS without loosing any data, not to say that you cannot completely erase/reformat a NTFS partition, however you will loose all data... But with the proper tools, you can now go back to FAT32 from NTFS...\n\nWhich brings up a good point, if your willing to cough up about 40-60$, you can easily do about anything, with any kind of partition you can imagine, this is probably the easiest route to go, The utility is "Partition Magic", and it is made by "Norton/Symantec". Here is a link to the product:\nhttp://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/system_performance/pm80/index.html\n\n..and if that don't help you, PRAY!\n\nBest of Luck!

Yes you can ... all you need to do is assign that 15 Gb to extended partition and then  create 1 or multiple logical drives in it and there you can use it.\n For Win 200/Xp/2003 Type Compmgmt.msc in Start/Run and follow the above mentioned procedure . refer windows Help for more info\n Also you can convert From FAT to NTFS/FAT32 but vice-versa is not possible. also Converting from FAT32 to NTFS is not possible and also vice versa.
