original title: How to Convert EXFAT into NTFS...?????

Hi there,

I have bought 64GB USB Memory Stick. But I am not able to format this drive into NTFS file system. I have got Windows 7 operating system. It is only allowing me to formate it into EXFAT only. Because of non NTFS file system i am not able to copy bigger than 2GB file. Even sometimes if i copy the whole folder still nothing gets copy in it. Only the folder name.

I have tried different partition softwares to formate it into NTFS but still no louck atall. Even i tried to make partition of 8GB but still no luck.

So, is there any other way that i can formate my memory stick into NTFS file system.

Please help for this problem. I am looking for the solution since last 3 months.

Regards,

Palak Patel

    go to START

              COMPUTER

               RIGHT KLIK ON THE USB DRIVER

               FORMAT

               THEN CHOOSE NTFS

    and dont forget its very important that u not vink the fast scan 

    then start

    You got that right.  Despite the bugs in exFAT (and I'm writing this in 2013!) it is still proprietary and blocks you from converting to NTFS.  Tried every way imaginable, but . .
