Convert FAT32 to NTFS Without Formatting or Losing Data

FAT 32 to NTFS Conversion Steps

1) Go to Computer, and note the name of the drive whose file system you wish to convert.

2) Click on Start.

3) Type cmd in the search bar if you use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows Vista. If you use Windows XP, click on Run and then execute cmd.

4) Execute "chkdsk h: /f " (without quotes) where H is the letter of the drive to undergo conversion. This checks the drive for errors and fixes them automatically.

5) Execute "Convert H: /FS:NTFS" (without quotes). H is again the letter of the drive to be converted.

6) The command prompt will start the conversion process and after a few minutes, CMD will say that conversion was successful.

7) You can check it in the properties of the drive through right click




This works on Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 8 and Windows Vista. I converted my flash drive's file system using these steps and it worked flawlessly. It is interesting to note that this method cannot be used to reconvert NTFS file system back to FAT32. To reconvert back to FAT32, you will need to format the entire drive which will definitely cause data loss.

Windows 7 networking fails to connect to samba SCO PC

Windows networking fails to connect to the Network Space 2 due to the version of samba on drive. Windows 7 defaults to using NTLMv2 for its security policy. The drive uses Samba v.3.0.9, which only supports NTLM.

Click Start, then Run (or press [windows button] + [R] on the keyboard), then type "secpol.msc" This should bring up the Security Policy system window.

On the left, select Local Policies > Security Options.

On the right, scroll down to and double-click on "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" Right Click your mouse, Change the setting from "Send NTLMv2 Response only" to "Send LM & NTLM responses".
