File name changes when moving files from an NTFS formatted drive to a ReFS formatted drive (ReFS version 3.4)

Sometimes when I move a file from an NTFS formatted drive to a ReFS formatted drive the file name changes a bit. The name on the target drive (ReFS formatted) takes the original name of the file (before I renamed the original file on the NTFS drive) . is
this an index problem or is this an incompatibiliy between NTFS and ReFS when moving files ?

For example :

drive c (NFTS formatted : file name 'Ab.TXT' renamed to "11.TXT" later.

drive d (ReFS formatted )

move "11.TXT" from drive C to drive d

new file name on drive d: "Ab.TXT" (back the original name (before renaming it).

 

ReFS is not listed as a format option when creating a mirrored storage space

I have two Windows 10 computers. Both are upgraded from Windows 7. When I create a storage space on one of these computers, I can format a two-way mirrored storage space as ReFS, but the other computer only lists NTFS for the same two drives.

If I create a mirrored ReFS space on the first computer and then plug in the drives into the second computer, Windows pops up an error message saying "This version of Windows doesn't support the ReFS format on drive".

How can I enable ReFS on the second computer?

 

How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!
