bountyboy Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 yes i heard about this FAT and NTSF thingy (i think thats what it is) i know how to change to NTSF but... i dont know how to back up, i saw a thread somewhere here about registry backing up with a link provided and i ended up looking at a site on how to back up... i forgot how it went but all i want to know how is to back up to the point where i can change the drive type. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 The thingy is called the File System.Check this topic for some information on backups.Before changing your file system to NTFSbe aware that you cannot undo that operation (unless you use PartitionMagic)make sure that you have a backup, in case anything goes wrongclean up you disk, e.g. by running Ccleanerdefragment your disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironman556 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Does Roll Back or System Restore ring any bells? If by "back up" that's what you mean then you won't be able to undo a change to NTFS using either of those. Both are to go back to a previous software version/pc setting.As Pat has pointed out if you change to NTFS then want to change back to FAT32 then you will need a program like Partition Magic to do it for you.The best way to back anything up (in my opinion) is to copy the files you want to a CDR or DVDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
