How to convert IDE drive from NTFS to FAT32 file system?
I am using Windows XP operating system, if its easy to solve this problem in Linux it is still welcome. "HDD media player support FAT32 format hard drive only."
I have 300 Gb IDE hard drive in NTFS format, Seagate st3300622A and P/N: 9BD044-304. Even though I'm told that HDD media player support FAT32 format hard drive only. I use this disc in external HDD media player and use USB cable to transfer files from my computer into the hard disc drive with no problem.
The trouble begins when I try to connect hdd media player to TV and watch or play files from television using AV ports as specified, I get the message "no disc" from the screen but hdd remote works fine with television.
Any idea what to do, please!
Do I have to convert the disc in the HDD media player (NTFS) to FAT32?
And how is the conversion done, under partition I only have NTFS option to select ?
After conversion, will I still be able to access the disc in HDD media player from my computer through USB cable?
I wouldnt suggest to convert your disk to FAT32. FAT32 only support 4gig files which might not be a good idea since video file (like DVD in ISO format) can be larger that that. But if your software only support FAT32, you will have to reformat the drive using FAT32 ... which will destroy all data on your drive. I guess that some third party software like partition magic can convert your disk from NTFS back to FAT32, but this is not a built in function in windows.
