It also crashes Paragon Hard Disk manager when I attempt a file system conversion back to NTFS. If you have a partition that uses the earlier FAT16 or FAT32 file system, you can convert it to NTFS by using the convert command. Only about 100Mbs of the terabyte is valuable. The NTFS file system provides better performance and security for data on hard disks and partitions or volumes than the FAT file system used in some earlier version of Windows. I haven't written to the disk, but am lost at what avenues to pursue to get my data back. No idea what the cmd output means: Ĭhkdisk hangs and churns out the same output when run in cmd. I ran convert d: /FS:NTFS but it continually spat out "bad links in lost chain at cluster *** corrected" and continued to rapidly churn out cmd output for many many hours until I unplugged the drive - and the output continued. All the data formerly on the NTFS drive is unreadable. It did create a separate 50gb FAT32 partition but now the data-filled larger NTFS partition has folded (I'm not sure how else to describe it) to create a single FAT32 drive. I've attempted to carve out a 50GB FAT32 partition from a 2TB NTFS drive using some rubbish partition program that has turned the entire disk into FAT32.
