Abstract: How to convert NTFS to FAT32? NTFS is the most widely used file system for hard drive. However, sometimes, you can’t use this file system on some specific devices like PS4 and Xbox One and you must convert it to FAT32 for it to work. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to finish the conversion.
NTFS and FAT32 are 2 different types of file system. FAT32 is older and NTFS is newer and NTFS is more common than FAT32 nowadays. A file system gives a way to organize drives. It specifies the way data is stored on the partition and what types of info can be attached on the files – filenames, permissions along with other attributes.
Although, as mentioned above, NTFS is more common than FAT32, sometimes, you have to convert NTFS to FAT32 for better compatibility with certain devices.
For example, a USB flash drive in NTFS can’t be recognized by consoles like PS3, PS4 and Xbox One, and in this case, you have to create FAT32 partition for PS3, PS4, and Xbox One. But before we start, let’s have a further understanding of differences between NTFS and FAT32.
