  1. What is NTFS?


    So today i was launching a game when it suddenly closed and a window popped up saying that there is not sufficient disk space. I went into file explorer and then into "this PC". It showed that there was 0 Bytes available out of 230 GB. I deleted several useless files but it was still full. There was Also NTFS written below that space available. I am not much smart in tech so can anyone help me? Also this never occurred to me before.This issue occured in Local DiskC:.MY other drive is functioning properly.

    :)

    Can I move Windows 10 Hyper-V Instance to exFAT External SSD from Windows 8.1 Pro NTFS

    Hi Wasay,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to follow the steps to format your esternal ssd


    • Go to this pc

    • Select the drive

    • Click on format

    • Select NTFS

    • Click on start
    Data loss Warning:

    Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes any data on it. Be sure to back up any data you want to keep before you begin.



    If you have any further questions about Windows, please get back to us. We are glad to help.

    Thanks.

    How to convert RAW partition to NTFS partition.

    Thanks for your reply. Apparently the convert drive to NTFS doesn't work when the drive is RAW. After following your instructions in step 2 I get message "convert is not available for RAW drives.

    Any suggestions?

    xp ntfs permissions erased - help!

    NEVER, ever, remove FULL CONTROL permissions in the Access Control Lists/rights priveleges from:

    • Administators Group
    • YOUR local Administrator User
    • SYSTEM
    on NTFS rights on your disks (via Explorer.exe rightclick properties menu, security tab) that use that filesystem, OR in the REGISTRY either, via rightclick on HIVES/KEYS permissions popup menu options...

    (Sure way to lock yourself out, period, & I have done it myself early on w/ NTFS filesystems &/or the Registry before... only way to learn sometimes, is making mistakes!)

    * Keep this in mind, those of you that start experimenting w/ security @ these 2 levels!

    APK

    P.S.=> Leaving them @ FULL POWER, in both areas, usually 9/10 times allows you to get back into your rig (logging on as your LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR USER, to fix it), & make alterations to rights/acl's as needed, to "get it right", eventually... especially when you're still learning/experimenting! apk
