jungle_warrior Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I have tried "format d: /FS:FAT32" and received a similiar message:FORMAT is not available for FAT32..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovilla2001 Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 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 /XBut.... when I call CONVERT, I receive the message that I posted before......Very weird.

ChrisBaksa Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 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[unattended]FileSystem=ConvertNTFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
