Convert Drives to NTFS without Formatting!

Often we need to convert our drives from FAT/ FAT32 to NTFS. And in that case you may need to set up the whole computer. But there is an easy option for you to do this job. Just follow the steps below:

1. Open Notepad
2. Copy and paste the following message in the Notepad

title Marks PC Solution!
convert c: /FS:NTFS
convert d: /FS:NTFS
convert e: /FS:NTFS
convert f: /FS:NTFS
convert g: /FS:NTFS
convert i: /FS:NTFS

      3. Save the file as NTFS.bat

Now what you need to know is that you can select which drive you wanna convert and which you not. Just see the lines above. If you need to convert only C Drive then you don't need to write the following lines in the notepad.

convert c: /FS:NTFS
msg %username% NTFS Converter: Presented by www.munnamark.blogspot.com!

If your desired drive letter is L, then type convert l: /FS:NTFS. By this way you can convert any other drive into NFTS.

Note: If you wanna convert from NTFS to FAT32 then you need to format it. So before converting to NTFS, make sure you really wanna do this. Otherwise you need to format the drive for sure. 

How to Activate Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3

Microsoft tried to make the installation process of windows 8 developer preview as easy as possible. Users don't need to type any product key during installation. And it's working fine after installing. 

However if someone finds that he needs to provide a product for activation then he can try this one: 6RH4V-HNTWC-JQKG8-RFR3R-36498

slmgr.vbs -ato

Note: After typing the first line and when you press enter there may appear several windows with error messages. Don't be panic. You will get the activation message within 1/2 minutes.

If this system does not work for you then follow this method.

Now Press Window Logo Key + Pause. Your computer properties will show windows is activated. And click on the View details. It will show a window with activation status like below:

Note: If the above system doesn't work for you then you can Activate Windows Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 by Windows Update. It is 100% working method and provided by Microsoft itself!
