Hi,
I have an external drive which, I just noticed, has the format type exFAT. The drive has a lot of important data (backup and other, about 1 GB). The drive is 2GB drive.
Google search says that in order NOT to lose any data, when converting, I have to make a backup. But the drive is already backup.
Then an article (on diskpart.com) says to run the following command at Command Prompt:
format P: /FS: NTFS (where P: is the drive letter)
What is suspect - to me - is the Format command. This, I though, usually destroy all data on the drive.
Is there a better way to convert the exFAT drive to the NTFS (without losing data)?
TIA
