I have reformatted my Asus L4500R (L4R) because it was getting slow. I also had to bring it to Asus World service center in order to fix the recent problems that I experience on my laptop. The hinge started to produce crackling noise, which caused by the accumulation of dirt as told by the technician. Moreover, my laptop couldn’t differentiate AC from Battery mode lately. Apparently, it was caused by the hinge grounding the AC unit as well. After 3 days of technical assestment and fixing, the technician released my laptop and now, it’s back to its initial configuration. (I know… installing OS, programs, etc could be tedious… but I have to other option)
Well, my L4R recovery CD features Windows XP Home and the original drivers and programs. Windows XP Home is set to FAT32 by default… it’s rather dull so I have to convert my current FAT32 partition to NTFS because I’m tired of the scandisk checks. Recently, I just researched about the conversion tool that ships with Windows and so I used CONVERT command to convert my FAT32 partition to NTFS. The result was successful!
This is the simple syntax I used:
C:\> CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS
