I have gotten a game the other day and i wanted to put it on my computer HDD, but when I tried to do this it said thats FAT32 doesnt support games greater then 4GB. I know NTFS supports files bigger the 4GB, but I don't know how to change the file system w/o deleting the drive. Can someone help?
You have to have an OS like WindowsXP or Server 2003.
Windows 2000, windows xp or windows server 2003 all support NTFS. If you already have one of these OS's then you can just use the drive converter to convert the filesystem from FAT32 to NTFS. I forget the exact command, but a quick google search will turn it up. It didn't take long at all to convert my 80GB drive. A few minutes at the most.
I have XP 2005, so if I do this will it delete anything?
no it shouldn't, it should be able to convert it into ntfs ^_^ and keep'n all the files heh
(mite cause some fragmented or corruption? not shure) lol
ok thanks for the help you guys.
i converted my one partition and it had no probs.
i used a command prompt errr command, and it worked perfectly.... google it
I wouls advise defragmenting your drive as well before starting the convert.
