Windows 7 Tip Covert External Hard Drives To NTFS

Converting an external hard drive to NTFS in Windows 7 is easy.  Key in the below command in the command prompt:


convert e: /fs: ntfs


Replace e with the drive letter you want to convert.


The external hard drive will need to have enough free space to convert the drive.  There is a risk of file corruption with any command that modifies the file system, so make sure to back up your data before proceeding.
