Well we all have run into issues with the file systems. You have an NTFS drive with all the movies but the DVD player or the TV or PS3 won't recognize the format. Now you need to connect it to laptop and then copy data on something else which has a FAT32 format ..so much pain.
So I took the decision that I should convert my drive file system to FAT32 but windows 7 or Vista or XP won't allow me to do it. There are so many options available when you Google but most people are suggesting and discussion so much information that i becomes a pain to identify what are they talking about.
Solution is simple on Windows platform. Download something called "fat32format" which is available here.
Installation is a breeze and the tool just change the allocation unit size to 4096. If you understand what it is please feel free to change it to what you feel is suitable for your needs.
**Disclaimer
All the data on the drive will be lost in the process and there is a file size limit of 4 GB on the FAT32.
