  • would this work while working on Windows Vista Home for converting an external HDD which is on FAT32

  • @lungudragos I would expect so. Always make sure you have a backup first, just in case...

  • mine says "this drive is dirty and cannot be converted. You will need to clear the dirty bit on this drive by dunning CHKDSK /F or allowing AUTOCHK to run on it the next time you reboot."

    when i run it, it says that "chkdsk cannot run because this volume is in use by another process. would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? y/n

    i press y and restart my computer but nothing happens

  • @rdy2pone Try:

    sfc /scannow

    Could be that Autochk.exe is corrupt

  • For me it says "an incorrect volume label was entered for the drive" i put c: drive

  • @BMWboy6 You have to match whatever the drive has for a label. If you do a directory of C: in a DOS box, it will tell you "Volume in drive C..." followed by the label info, usually all upper case. It may have no label.

    You can set the label easily by right clicking the drive in My Computer, selecting properties and changing the label in the box at the top

  • it said was dirty so i went to my computer i selected format then it changed it anyway but gave it a 4gb allocation size what is that much appreciated!

  • I don't know if it was because i did this but after i did this (and it worked) i disconnected the external HDD and connected it to my PS3. Nothing showed up so i connected it back to my computer. My computer found it but it does not run autorun or show up on My Computer. I feel like i'v tried everything but i have to fix it because i have important documents in there. Please help!!!! Thanks :)

    PS: I have a Samsung G3 Station 2TB

  • FUCVKING WONT WORK. THIS SHIT WILL NEVER WORK I ENTERRET EXACLYU LIE U IT JUST SAYS INVALID SHIT!!!!!!!! FUCKKKK!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank so much Pc Rogers . 100% Works

    Really great explained Tut. Thanks alot !

  • @TheRttleSNK run with /F, then I always answer Y to convert lost chains. Usually I just delete them afterward but only after ensuring they don't look meaningful.

  • @FreeCompConsultant i got problem,it say "Windows found errors on the disk, but will not fix them because disk checking was run without the /F (fix) parameter.

    Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)?"

  • Two thumbs up!

  • thanks man !
