NTFS to FAT32?

Priapus · 27 Jan 2008 at 07:11

Howzit guys,

I've got a 250GB Hard drive that I need to be changed back to FAT32. Reason being is my Dvix player won't or rather, can't read the NTFS format.

I've tried formatting and reselecting the drive format, however only NTFS is there normally FAT32 is also there but for some reason it isn't now.

Any ideas guys?

Many thanks!

Thank you.

"might be forced to partition"

What do you mean by that?

Thanks.

Okay...:S

Well I've had FAT32 partions over 32GB...
Acronis Disk Director doesn't format to FAT32 either

Try this, first run "Command Prompt" (cmd) and type the following in the command prompt window.

Type > diskpart > press enter

You must now select the disk and partition to format. example below.

Type > list disk > press enter
Type > select disk 1 > press enter < (replace the number 1 for the number of the disk you wish to format)
Type > list partition > press enter
Type > select partition 1 > press enter< (replace the number 1 for the number of the partition you wish to format)
Type > format fs=fat32 quick > press enter

At the end of that I get an error saying, "Fat32 is not supported for the volume, please select a different file system and try again."

Hope this helps!
