Can You Actually Convert NTFS to FAT32 Using CMD?
Geeks - Yes, you can convert a drive from NTFS to FAT32 using the command prompt in Windows. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the command prompt as an administrator by pressing the Windows key + X and then selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)" from the menu.
In the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter: convert drive: /fs:fat32
Replace "drive" with the letter of the drive you want to convert, and make sure to include the colon (:) after the drive letter. For example, if you want to convert drive D, you would type: convert d: /fs:fat32
Wait for the conversion process to complete. This may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the drive.
Once the conversion is complete, you can close the command prompt and use your drive with the FAT32 file system.
Keep in mind that converting a drive from NTFS to FAT32 using the command prompt is a one-way process. Once a drive has been converted to FAT32, you cannot convert it back to NTFS using the command prompt. If you need to convert a drive back to NTFS, you will need to use a third-party utility or reformat the drive.
