Convert FAT to NTFS Without Losing The Data in Windows

In Windows, you can easily convert a storage format from FAT/FAT32 to NTFS without losing the data within. This will allow you to store files more than 4GB.

1. In Windows, open a command prompt.

2. type

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

For example, convert E: /fs:ntfs would format drive ED: to the NTFS format.

Note: This is a one way process. You can't reverse the process without formatting the drive.
