Can someone show me how this is done without reformating the drive & losing all my info, is there another way!
I got Metal gear solid & can't extract a file larger than 4 Gig.

thanks

Never really understood why people make ISOs that are bigger than 4.7gig... i mean, what can you do with them?

Anyway... What OS are you running ?

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense, maybe some people have dual layer DVD burners? (Yeah Right, Maybe if you're Bill $ Gates).

But you do run into problems when you try to make an ISO between 4 - 4.7 Gb on FAT32. There's just a narrow band between FAT32 limitations and usefulness of the ISO file.

I'm a newbe to th xbox scene & i downloaded Metal gear solid the DVD ver
not knowing how big it really was, so i had to Jam a old 20 gig drive in the xbox, than this prob came up with the NTFS file system, I didn't feel like waiting for the Rip ver of MGS2S

OK, To the orig question on how to convert the drive. If and only if you're running win 2000 or xp, click start, run. then type "cmd" and ok. It'll pop up the command prompt. there type "convert c: /fs:ntfs" that will convert the hd to ntfs file system.

For those using Windows 2000 in order to convert from a Fat32 FileSystem to NTFS do the following:


Open a command prompt window.
In the command prompt window, type

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs



i.e. convert C: /fs:ntfs
