External HD problems

Have an external hard drive but notice that on Windows 7 the drive file system sometimes fails. The reason for this that Windows 7 likes only the NTFS format.

There are several ways to do this and one way to do it is by using the convert.exe command in DOS. After you type convert.exe convert x: /fs:ntfs, (in which x is the drive for your external hard drive).
Make sure that your external drive is empty first before your convert it to NTFS otherwise all your data will be erased.

ex:
c:\users\ED>convert f: /fs:ntfs
