Reformat a portable drive from NTFS TO FAT
1 Answers
Hi ABers
No doubt this subject has been done to death but when i look in search i can only see how to convert from FAT to NTFS, my problem is my son bought a seagate expansion portable drive 250g so that he can store movies and watch them on his play station , this worked with my WD portable drives.But when he plugged the new drive into his PS it could not be found. i checked and found my drives are FAT but his is NTFS. I have tried to reformat to FAT but my lap top only gives me the option of NTFS , im using windows XP.
Any help would be appreciated
cheers
