Rendering question

[Jorge Trinchet]

I have tried all kinds of name combinations, and it keeps saying the same: An incorrect volume label was entered for this drive.
This is how it goes:

When I type VOL G:
It says: Volume in drive G is My Book
Volume Serial Number is B1D0-196E

Then I type: CONVERT G: /FS:NTFS

It says: The type of the file system is FAT32.
Enter current volume label for drive G:

I type: My Book B1D0-196E

It says: An incorrect volume label was entered for this drive.

By the way, sometimes when I type this directly: CONVERT G: /FS:NTSF (without previously typing VOL G:), it says: Conversion from FAT32 to NTSF volume is not available.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Jorge

Terry,
Somehow it finally worked! I typed “my book” as the name of the volume, and it did it.
Now the portable drive is NTSF and it can handle bigger files. However, I have noticed that now the portable drive is having trouble with my DVD player.
I have a Philips DVP 5982, which used to work very well with the portable drive. But now that the drive is NTSF, the DVD player doesn’t seem to be compatible with it.
Have you ever heard about anything like this? Are there any solutions?
Thanks a lot!

Do you have the lateest drivers for the HD and the DVD drive. BTW how is the incompatabiliityy showing itself?

[Jorge Trinchet]

Thanks for the reply, Terry!
I am not sure if I have the latest drivers for the HD and the DVD drive. I wasn’t even aware of having to upgrade them. But just in case it helps, I bought the DVD player back in June and the portable drive back in July.

How is the incompatibility showing itself?
Before it used to show me the list of folders available in the drive. Now it doesn’t show any. It just says: Disc NOT SUPPORT

Is this issue related to converting the portable drive to NTSF?
I have a flashdrive that the DVD player can still read just fine, and I just looked and the flashdrive is FAT32. That is why I think that the DVD player has trouble with NTSF.

Any feedback on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,

Jorge

Go to the manufactureers web site for both drives and look up your models and see if your drivers are the latest. If not downlaod the latest drivers and install.
