I'm having strange problems converting my HDD from FAT32 to a NTFS file storage.

I first ran chkdsk N: /f and came up no problems so I ran convert N: /fs:ntfs but it tells me there is a problem.

NTFS Conversion Fault

How can I fix this problem? I have tried ejecting my HDD and trying again but had no luck.

    I think if you reboot Windows, it will do the AUTOCHK and the dirty bit will be cleared. Aug 24, 2014 at 16:38
  • @LittleHelper So I just need to reboot? AUTOCHK does it by itself?

    While Windows is booting, it checks for that particular dirty bit and if it's set to true, it will check the drive. So yeah, you just need to reboot. Aug 24, 2014 at 16:46

Run Chkdsk N: /r command to mark the sector unusable if its bad sector and recovers readable information.
