How To Convert File System from FAT/FAT32 to NTFS without losing Data

Converting a drive from fat/fat32 for better performance is very easy, just follow the steps below:


Step 1: Open Command Prompt(Open Run Dialog Box, press Win+R and type 'cmd' and press enter).

Step 2: Type the following command
convert d: /fs:ntfs

Step 3: This command would convert your d: drive to ntfs.
If the system cannot lock the drive, you will be prompted to convert it during next reboot.

Step 4: Normally you should select yes.

Conversion from fat/fat32 to ntfs is non-destructive, your data on the drive will NOT be lost.

Note: Be aware that converting to ntfs will make that partition of your drive unreadable under dos unless you have ntfs utilites to do so.
We'll not be responsible for any data loss, use this trick at your own risk. To avoid data loss, just perform the steps carefully!
