Do you use a external hard drive? Do you want to store large files on it? Usually external hard drives are FAT32 formated – great for compatibilty reasons, but awfull when you want to store large files (e. g. the latest linux dvd). So how do you convert the filesystem without loosing your data?

run CMD as an Administrator
type convert DRIVELETTER: /FS:NTFS

The conversion process will beginn. When it´s finished you can store large files.
