    convert.exe stuck on "converting filesystem"


    Hi!

    I am using convert.exe to try to convert one of my disks to NTFS.

    I trusted the "your data is safe"-claim and didn't do a backup...

    Now, it is stuck on "Converting filesystem" and has been for a while.

    I can not access my drive anymore, Windows says "Access denied".

    When I look at task manager, I see that "File system conversion utility" is open, but it says "Paused". It goes back to running for like half a second every now and then, but that's it.


    convert.exe output:

    convert D: /fs:ntfs

    The type of the file system is FAT32.

    Enter current volume label for drive D: EXTERN

    The volume is in use by another process. Chkdsk

    might report errors when no corruption is present.

    Volume EXTERN created 2019-12-02 19:40

    Volume Serial Number is 0500-17FF

    Windows is verifying files and folders...

    File and folder verification is complete.



    Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.

    No further action is required.

    976 513 920 KB total disk space.

    17 952 KB in 193 hidden files.

    766 464 KB in 23 770 folders.

    100 737 056 KB in 218 583 files.

    874 992 416 KB are available.



    32 768 bytes in each allocation unit.

    30 516 060 total allocation units on disk.

    27 343 513 allocation units available on disk.



    Determining disk space required for file system conversion...

    Total disk space: 976752343 KB

    Free space on volume: 874992416 KB

    Space required for conversion: 1584664 KB

    Converting file system



    And then it is stuck. I don't care about FAT32 or NTFS right now. How can I access my data again?

    :)

    Converting .exe to .jar online

    Hi Tyler

    Jar files are Java files, ordinary exe files cannot be converted to jar files, because the original application would not have been coded in Java . .

    Jar to exe can convert a jar file to an exe, by including the java runtime inside the exe file, that does not work the other way around . ..

    What difficulty are you having running exe files on your PC?

    Cannot convert GPT to MBR.

    Hi Michael,



    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    This method you have to backup all your data and delete all partitions and volumes. Then use the
    DISKPART command.

    • Open command prompt and type in DISKPART and press Enter
    • Then type in list disk (Note down the number of disk you want to convert to GPT)
    • Then type in select disk number of disk
    • Finally type in convert gpt.
    Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.
