Converts hard drive partitions formatted as FAT and FAT32 to NTFS. CONVERT cannot convert a partition to any file system other than NTFS.
Type CONVERT followed by the drive letter and colon, and then /fs:ntfs followed by any switches. If you were converting drive C to NTFS in the verbose mode (see the switch listings), you would type:
CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs /v
and then press <Enter>.
/fs:ntfs: CONVERT won't work without this switch following the drive letter. fs means file system.
f/nosecurity: Specifies that files and folders already on the drive are accessible to everyone who uses the computer.
/v: Verbose mode. All possible information will be displayed while the conversion is taking place.
/x: Performs all changes to network-mapped drives necessary for the conversion to take place.
Any drive in use will be converted at the next boot.
