Windows Tips and Trick: Password Reset Disk, Convert FAT to NTFS

Create a Password Reset Disk

2.Click your account name.
3.Under Related Tasks, click Prevent a forgotten password.
4.Follow the directions in the Forgotten Password Wizard to create a password reset disk.
5.Store the disk in a secure location, because anyone using it can access your local user account.


How to Convert a FAT Partition to NTFS

To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps:

1. Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt.

In Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run. Type "cmd" and then Enter

2. At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS.

Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.


NOTE: Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command. It is also recommended to verify the integrity of the backup before proceeding, as well as to run RDISK and update the emergency repair disk (ERD).
