 How to Convert a FAT or FAT32 Volume to NTFS in Windows 7

Before you start to convert a FAT or FAT32 volume to NTFS, please consider the following limitations and requirements:

  • UDF and CDfs file systems are only used with optical media and cannot be converted to NTFS.
  • FAT12 is the only format used on floppy diskettes (as if these are used anymore ). This does not apply to a USB flash key though.
  • The conversion to NTFS is a one-way process. After you convert a drive or a partition to NTFS, you cannot convert it back to FAT or to FAT32 unless you format it again as FAT or FAT32.
  • The convert command requires that you have enough free space on the drive or on the partition that you want to convert to be able to convert it. If Convert.exe determines that there is not sufficient free space on the volume, it will not convert the volume.
  • If the files are being used on the volume that you are trying to convert, then you will be prompted with:
  • "Convert cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Convert may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? <Y/N>"
  • Quit all the programs that are using the files on the drive, and then type Y at the command prompt to convert the drive to NTFS.
  • If the drive or partition volume that you are trying to convert is in use, then you will be prompted with:
  • "Convert cannot gain exclusive access to the drive letter drive, so it cannot convert it now. Would you like to schedule it to be converted the next time the system restarts? <Y/N>"
  • To resolve this issue, type Y at the command prompt. The volume or drive will be converted to NTFS the next time that you restart the computer.
HOW TO DO:

1. To Use a Elevated Command Prompt in Windows
         A) Open a Elevated command prompt. 

         B) Go to step 3.
2. To Use a Command Prompt at Boot
         A) Open a command prompt at boot.

         B) In the command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. (see screenshot below)

         C) In the command prompt, type list volume and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
        NOTE: This will let you see what the drive letter is for the drive that you want to connvert since it may     not always be the same drive letter that it is in Windows.

        D) After making note of the drive letter, type exit and press Enter. (see screenshot below)


        E) Continue on to step 3 to convert the drive.

3. In the command prompt, type convert drive letter: /fs:ntfs and press Enter. (See screenshot below)
NOTE: Substitute drive letter for the drive letter of the FAT or FAT32 drive or partition that you want to convert to NTFS. For example, I want to convert my USB flash key with the drive letter G: , so I would type convert g: /fs:ntfs and press enter.


4. If prompted to Enter current volume label for drive (drive letter) (ex: G: ), then enter the name (ex: NEW VOLUME) of this drive letter as it is displayed in the Computer window and press Enter. (see screenshots below)




5. When the conversion to NTFS is complete, you receive the Conversion complete message. (See screenshot above)
NOTE: This may take a while to convert depending on full and large the drive is. It may also seem like it has hung at points, but be patient and let it finish. 

6. Close the command prompt.
NOTE: If you used a command prompt at boot, then also close the System Recovery Options window and restart the computer.

And then open VMware Player from desktop.From the top toolbar select File>Create a New Virtual Machine and then select the second option installer disc image file (.iso) and give the path of the .iso file of the backtrack 5 through below. Like this:-



5. Now select what I have selected below in screen shot. Like select Linux and in kernel version select 2.6 as Backtrack 5 uses this kernel version. And press next.




6. After that choose whatever name you want for this virtual machine in next step like I have used "Wamiq Ali Back Track 5" and then choose the path below where you want to save it.




7. After that hit next and then again next. Now click finish after that.

Surfing on the internet, the definition has obviously changed. We need fast, secure and cheap connection. Nepal is certainly having problems with this changed – FSC definition. My friend who works on an ISP enjoys FSC but me….. I calculate bytes … recharge my balance regularly … do not enjoy multimedia … do not download/update software…. check mail…. search … chat……
If we have the NTC CDMA phone and wish to connect internet and are not aware of the ways of keeping the unnecessary bytes transfer in control then your wallet is certainly emptying fast.
10 ways to keep your CDMA charges low:

1) No multimedia thru net. Graphics, animation, images, videos, audio; Disable all.
2) Browse mobile pages if available.
3) Use Outlook for checking and sending mail.
4) Search tags should be as small as possible and find your site in first click. Do not go by many sites for one query.
5) Do not delete your temporary internet files and cookies unless it is necessary.
6) Do not log out from sites.
7) Do not make automatic updates on.
8) Do not download files without knowing the size of the files.
9) Disable pop-ups and JavaScript ads like Google Adsense.
10) Use older versions of messengers. They are typically free from heavy ads and so on.
Give suggestions and comments. If u have any idea about the topic then please do post.
