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

    Start> Run and type CMD. this will open the command prompt. now type

    CONVERT E: /FS:NTFS

    Where the E is put the drive letter for the usb drive this will convert the usb to NTFS for you.

    Might work.

    Have you ran across and tried the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool? I would try that. And I did notice this was Dec. 09
