Win XP system disk format conversion tricks

Not long ago, a friend's computer had some problems, saying that the installed Win XP system was very unstable during use, often crashed, and it was blue screen. After the author's judgment, the problem may appear on the disk format. Open the properties of the friend computer C drive, the disk format is FAT16 (stability is strange).

So, the author explained the benefits of the NTFS format to friends. However, it is important to convert the disk format, and there is trouble here. The formatting in the property is definitely not good. The C drive is the system disk, and the things inside can't be moved; the format reloading is a bit of a fuss; so I used the famous PQMagic. After rebooting into PQMagic, I found that "FAT-FAT32, FAT-NTFS" are not optional!

How to solve this situation? In fact, from Windows 2000, the system comes with "using the console" Command CONVERT" to help you convert the disk properties! Just enter "CMD" in the run to enter the console, enter convert /?, you will see a brief introduction to this command after the carriage return, a little experienced users Can be easily mastered.

In the case of the friend of the author, we can enter convert c:/fs:ntfs to enter, the system will prompt that it can not be completed in the current state, then restart. Enter "Y", then Win XP will automatically shut down, after restarting twice, then look at the properties of the C drive, it is already NTFS! The whole process is less than 4 minutes (the conversion process takes time related to the hard disk size and computer configuration) )!!
