Convert FAT partition to NTFS

I am telling you a simple way to convert your drive's partition from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS. If you want more security, file by file compression etc than you can convert FAT file system to NTFS with just one command, so lets start
  • Go to start->RUN
  • In RUN type "cmd" to open command prompt
  • Now in command prompt type "CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS". In drive letter above you have to give drive name that you wish to convert to NTFS.
  • Wait for few moments, depending on your disk size, and after some moments your FAT drive will be converted into NTFS.
There is a minimal chance of data loss or corruption during conversion but it is better that you perform a backup on drive that you are converting before doing this.
