In
computing, convert
is a
command-line utility included in the
Windows NT
operating system line. It is used to convert volumes using the
FAT
file systems to
NTFS.
[1]
convert
is an external command first introduced with
Windows 2000.
[2] If the drive cannot be locked (for example, the drive is the
system volume or the
current drive) the command gives the option to convert the drive the next time the computer is restarted.
[3]
On
Unix-like systems, there are similar tools like convertfs
, a utility which performs in-place conversion between any two file systems with
sparse file support
[4] and
btrfs-convert
, a tool that can convert from
ext2/
ext3/
ext4 or
reiserFS file system to
Btrfs in-place.
[5]
The command- syntax is:
convert volume /FS:NTFS [/V]
The following command converts the volume on drive D: to NTFS. The /v
command-line option will cause it to display all messages during the conversion process.
C:\>convert d: /fs:ntfs /v
