Hi All,
Situation: Using an USB Hard Drive externally thru a Hub, formatted with
FAT32 File System. Drive is one partition of 232 GB in size.
It has Programs installed on it, being used by the Windows XP Home
Edition Service Pack 2 operating system on the NTFS File System on an
internal Hard Drive.
MS-DOS does not see the USB Drive.
How does one convert a FAT32 File System to NTFS without the need to
reformat the Drive?
I have rebooted the computer, cleanly without Startup programs, but
still got the Handles in use message.
Scheduling a Convert of the USB Hard Drive did not work, because it
could not determine the File System in use.
Ideas?
