Hi Mark,
According to the manual you can re-partition, as well as format
partitions on the drive to NTFS, which suggests that there is no
reason why NTFS Convert will not work.
However, I suggest you study the manual carefully as you will need to
take into account Freecom's network operation.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Converting a network disk to ntfs
Hi all.
Having just got a Freecom 1TB network drive, I was amazed to see it is
formatted with fat32.
I copied over 50GB of audio from an ntfs drive and the difference in
size on
disk is 200MB. Ie, it is 50.2GB on the fat32 network drive and only
50GB on
the ntfs drive. If you extrapolate this out to 1TB it means there is
likely
to be about 4GB lost due to the drive formatting type.
Is it possible to use the convert command to change the Freecom drive
to
ntfs, please? I am convinced if I could do this then the data storage
would
be much more efficient. It is presently mapped and accessible through
the
network, but could be connected via usb2 to do this if necessary.
Cheers,
Mark Threadgold
