Convert FAT32 to NTFS Without Formatting your USB Drive


You have a pen-drive or probably an external hard drive that currently has FAT32 file system and you want to change it to NTFS, because FAT32 does not support to handling large files(over 4GB).Like now you going to copy one single file it size was more then 4GB means you get one error message "The file is too large" or "Not enough disk space error"despite disk space being available.
 Important Note:While this method works perfectly, I would still advise you to backup your data in case anything goes wrong.

FAT32 to NTFS Conversion Steps
1) Open Command Prompt (cmd).
2) Type "chkdsk g: /f" (without quotes) enter, Where G is the letter of the drive to under conversion.
This checks the drive for error and fixes them automatically.
3) Type "convert G: /FS:NTFS" (without quotes) enter,G is again the letter of the drive to be converted.

The command prompt will start the conversion process and after a few minutes, CMD will say that conversion was successful.
Now you can check it in the properties of the drive it changed NTFS format. 
I convert my USB drive using this steps and it worked  now i can able to coping the more then 4GB files. Make it Simple

How To Install WindowsXP/7/8/8.1/10 and Ubuntu from USB Flash Drive



The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 and Ubuntu in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB Flash Drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.
 
The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive. 

Requirements:
1.USB Flash Drive (minimum 4GB) 8GB means it would be able to carry through all type of OS.

2.Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 and Ubuntu installation files.

3.Follow the below steps to create bootable  USB drive using which you can install Windows XP/7/8/8.1/10 and Ubuntu easily.
 
Procedure:
1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system.

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights.
*Go to RUN type CMD (Windows key + R)

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:
 
First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.
 
Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 2.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 2”.If you have Disk 1 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 1.Refer the above step to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 2
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds)
ASSIGN
(now open your USB drive and copy the OS files)
EXIT
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Now your USB drive is ready to install the OS.
 
Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.
