WINPE x CONVERT.EXE

[ovilla2001]

Hi,

Has anyone used CONVERT.EXE under WINPE?

I am trying to use this utility to convert a partition from FAT32 to NTFS but I got the following error:

"CONVERT is not available for FAT32 drivers"

BTW, I am using a WINPE 2005 (generated using the Windows 2003 SP1)

Any suggestion will be very very very welcone.

Regards,

O. Villa

I have tried "format d: /FS:FAT32" and received a similiar message:

FORMAT is not available for FAT32.....

[ovilla2001]

For me, FORMAT is working 100% fine.

First I use the DISKPART to clean the HD, create the partitions that I need (the size of FAT32 partition is < 32GB) and assign letters.

So I call the FORMAT C: /FS:FAT32 /Q /V:TEST /X

But.... when I call CONVERT, I receive the message that I posted before......

Very weird.

Why are you converting?

Why not simply format NTFS to begin with?

Or... leave it at FAT32 and let windows setup convert it for you.

Add this to your Unattend.txt

FileSystem=ConvertNTFS

the command line I use:

format c: /fs:ntfs /V:MAIN /y

or you can add /q for a quick format
