I bought a memory stick recently which will only allow me to format it in FAT32.I know this because I have done all the usuall tests in my computer etc.I have even went into DOS and tried to covert from FAT32 to NTFS that way.Is there any free little program out there that will allow me to convert this memory stick from FAT to NTFS because when I go to copy files and folders into it,The data is not been held

If it has nothing to do with FAT or NTFS then why when you right click on it - choose format are you given the option of FAT and NTFS

Once you have the stick connected to the computer, right-click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management > format the drive on the stick into a new format. That should work.
If it won't take NTFS (I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't), then try FAT32.

a pair opportunities. the two your memory stick is undesirable or The report equipment must be corrupted on it from pulling it out with out remarkable removing it. attempt moving your stuff off it, pass to my pc and precise-click on it. click format, and format thepersistent. Use the default settings. this could erase each and every thing on it, regardless of if it may help if it is purely a corrupted report equipment.
