ok i want to convert the external usb flash drive to ntfs how i do that??? i did convert E:/fs:NTFS and then it says its being used when its not nd then it says it will format next boot and when i restart the computer its still FAT so does anybody know how i do this??
in Windows XP, plug-in the usb flash drive, right-click and select Format. under File System, choose NTFS. click Start.
I don't think you can format flash drives as NTFS volumes. The most you can do is FAT32. Smaller flash memory drives are limited to only FAT.
Well, afaik does nearly any thumbdrive support NTFS, but NTFS does not flush data to the disk immediately, in addition, removing NTFS-formatted media without using the Safe Removal application can result in data loss. Like ppl said, for removable media that can be ejected unexpectedly, you should use FAT (12, 16, 32) instead. ^^
lol, ya i dunno its kinda old supports up to 275MB am trying to get a one that supoorts a gig but ya it does support NTFS but it says it will do it next time I boot the system~ and then it doesn't! how weired is that?
FAT32 is more than what a thumbdrive is capable of supporting, 4TB, not even the latest HDD is that huge.
