Advantage of conversation Form FAT to NTFS:
Choosing between NTFS, FAT and FAT32, NTFS is the recommended file system to format a volume, because it is more powerful than FAT and FAT32. NTFS is much stable and secure than other file systems. Besides, it provides recoverability facility which help users to repair files without having to run the disk repair utility.

Go to Computer, and note the name of the volume whose file system you wish to convert.Run cmd (command prompt) as Administrator.
- Execute "chkdsk h: /f " (without quotes) where H is the letter of the drive to format in new file system. This checks the drive for errors and fixes them automatically.
- Execute "Convert H: /FS:NTFS" (without quotes). H is again the letter of the drive to be converted.
- The command prompt will start the conversion process and after a few minutes, CMD will say that conversion was successful.
- You can check this in the properties of the drive through right click<Properties.
