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

    This seems to work. A note to those that try it...when you go back and run FORMAT, it will take a very long time to process, but worth it. Thanks.

    CONVERT is not available for RAW drives.

    It works, just takes forever.  sat on 0% for about 15-20 minutes before it changed.  with a 256gb you may have to leave it over night.
