Does anyone know how to format a zip drive using FAT system to NTFS using the command line. I have remember seeing it on Techrepublic at one time.

Thanks.

format f: /FS:NTFS
replacing f: with appropriate drive letter naturally.

btw, format /?
would have given the answer.

To maintain the files already on the drive or volume without having to replace them, try CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS. This converts the drive from FAT16 or FAT32 to NTFS.
