    Convert ntfs to fat32

    I want--- without data loss
    I will accept--- data loss

    not as simple as it seems,
    windows has exfat, but not fat32

    lots of things say they can,, but then dont.


    Whatever happened to that Hirens disc I had...


    in case you are wondering, the new big $$ "Smart" TV in the van only works on good ole fat32..
    the elcheapo it replaced worked on anything...

    If I plug all of that into a translation app would it spit out " My new not so smart TV won't play from my external media "? Are we talking movies? If so ( stab in the dark ), can your idiot box accept new apps? If it can, see if it can accept VLC. VLC is an app that can play pretty much anything. Some TVs will allow it.

    If that fails read this: 5 Methods to Convert NTFS to FAT32 without Losing Data[2021].

    Acronis I think can do it, it is on the Hirens image Hiren's BootCD PE
    Probably easier to get another disk and format it then copy the data over.

    Fat32 loses the extra data attributes (if any) and has the 4gig file limit

    Don’t know of any utility that will do that with any reliability

    4 Gig is ample for most movies without extras, if that is what's wanted here.

    Still, it's hard to credit that a "modern" smart anything would limit itself this way.

    Of course, you could invest in a wifi hotspot your drive connects to.. Then she could watch her movies on the TV, and you could watch something else on a laptop in the doghouse.
