Hi all,
I had a problem with my external hard disk when copying some 25GB file.
I had troubleshoot the problem and understand that, my hard disk file system is FAT32, which can only copy max 4GB single file size
I was thinking without losing my data, how can I change the file system, so that, I copy more than 4GB sized single files
Then I come across the following commands in Windows
1) chkdsk : Check disk
2) convert : Convert disk file system
chkdsk command
Syntax
cmd> chkdsk volume_letter: [options]
Example
Checks for disk errors and fix it
cmd> chkdsk I: /f
convert command
Syntax
cmd> convert volume_letter: FS:NTFS [options]
Example
Convert volume from FAT to NTFS in verbose
cmd> convert I: /FS:NTFS /V
Possible Errors with solutions
Insufficient Memory
Reason
Nearly 4 GB files in existing FAT32 system
Solution
Move the files to local drive, do chkdsk and then convert
