how to convert NTFS To FAT

[CadCrazy]

How can i convert NTFS partiotion to FAT32 as i have to use it in ubuntu.

 

[wizrulz]

No other way..u have to format it and then u can convert to FAT 32

Right-click the new volume and select "Format".
If the volume size is larger than 32GB, FAT32 option can't be seen in the list. In such cases, you need to create multiple partitions below 32GB each to format it to FAT32.

also u can ...
1. RUN diskmgmt.msc
2. select the partition and format it to fat32...
both the methods r exactly the same...

Dude, you can mount NTFS and read/write on it in Ubuntu

Just follow this and you're done.

u can convert using partion manager but there is a chance of data corruptance so better take copy of data in an another drive and continue

Why would you want to convert NTFS to fat?. FAT is dead , NTFS is the future for few years. If you convert it to FAT. Prepare for lot of error messages.

hey WAIT YOU CAN CONVERT FAT32 to NTFS wothout formatting

type cmd in RUN
then type this
convert X: /fs:fat where x is your drive letter

and no need to format or no file will be corrupted and windows will work fine

 

[shantanu]

we can convert surely .....

IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL U FORMAT YOUR HDD. INVERSE IS POSSIBLE I.E. FAT=>ntfs

 

[Shasanka_Gogoi]

I dont think their is a way unless u format it.

 

[niceboy]

convert command is for converting fat to ntfs and not vice versa.

but, u can try partition magic from norton(earlier powerquest) which does a very good job (99% success rate).

nb.

u can go from fat to ntfs but not the opposite without formatting
