Damn. I'm not really surprised it did that. I think an image is supposed to be a complete replica of the drive, including filesystem. Why didn't you just do a straight copy of the data using file explorer?
You could try that convert command again? Seems that you're getting the same result with the format command though. Strange.

Nothing about the drive being mounted? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: July 6, 2018 6:23 PM To: JFW List <[email protected]> Subject: [JAWS-Users] my conversion idea failed I had the idea to make an image for windows backup of my grandson's ex drive. Then restore it to my drive before reformatting his. After a 9 hour backup and a 4 hour restore things became worse. The restore converted my ntfs drive to a fat32. I made the guess that it just would rewrite the data. On my 7 machine what is the best way to format my drive back to ntfs? I did go to run and typed format f: /fs:ntfs It asked for a new label and nothing since. After a few hours the fat32 information is still there. I wonder if I should have use the q switch --- Please visit my web page It's motivational, inspirational with a touch of humor There is also a very extensive resource list for the blind http://www.LennyMcHugh.com International Brotherhood of Magicians member #43990 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
