Firon Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 He just told you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I wasn't quite as clear as I could have been though Firon. When you open up Computer Management console, you need to click "Disk Management" under the "storage" heading in the left pane. There is also a context menu shortcut for converting in that dialog as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 The text box at the top of the general tab is the volume label. Enter that in when convert asks for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav123 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Cheers for that! just tried the conversion and it says cant convert to ntfs as drive dirty! think im stuck yet again or does this happen a lot??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 if the drive is dirty, you need to run a chkdsk on the drive (tools tab of the properties of the drive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Am I missing something here this thread started out with;"Conversion from FAT32 volume is not available", problem, after that I do not see any reference to it nor have I found any reference to it on the MS support page given previously ?Since there is no reference to this Conversion problem in the MS support,there is no reference how mav123 got to the point of, having a, " dirty disk ", message, which means he somehow got past the conversion message problem,afterwards which he then used the disk name. How did he get to the disk, "name in-put", since his implication is that he solved the, "conversion not available", problem from the MS page, again I did not find it there ?I also have a blank box in properties where the file name is.Will appreciate your feed back.

jewelisheaven Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well, is the option available in the Computer Management like I suggested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 jewelisheaven,OK, In the Computer management, it shows © as NTSFand (E) as FAT 32 But how does this solve my problem concerning;"Conversion from FAT32 volume is not available"How do I make it available for conversion, this, I think is the step I thought I would find in this thread, but I don't see it ?

jewelisheaven Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The ONLY failure reason I see is you're not running as an administrator http://www.maximumpc.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=748465 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutchoj Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I Had the same problem as those people who received the message "CONVERSION FROM FAT 32 VOLUME IS NOT AVALIABLE".After broke my head trying to find any logical cause to this, I remembered that we are using micro$oft. thats it. Ty to Name the Volume with anything, just dont let it blank. Then, the convert work... and now i can download Lost in Translation in FULLHD =))))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
