Guest Bill Cunningham Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 I am try to convert ntfs to fat32 which I've always had success with with partition magic. Now the computer drops out of PM with an error 1517. I looked at the events and Userenv has that code. What should I do ? Bill

Google also returned a reference to not running it as a guest. I guess it was trying to imply use an admin account.

I convert to ntfs to defrag then convert to fat32. A file attribute is missing. Yes that's the error I get but chkdsk doesn't help. Bill

I thought that they had taken care of that problem at least three years ago. Various releases claim NTFS capability.

This hasn't been true for about three years. You may need to update your Linux release. > I convert to ntfs to defrag then convert to fat32. A file attribute is > missing. Yes that's the error I get but chkdsk doesn't help. > > Bill I have a very hard time believing that "linux doesn't read or write to NTFS" when there are so many Linux-based NT/XP password reset utilities. These simply could *not* work without the ability to read from AND write to NTFS. Also, if you boot an XP/NTFS system from a Ubuntu boot disk, you can use Ubuntu's file managers to access the NTFS disk. You may have a problem with some versions of the *Mac* OS and writing to NTFS; it's been a while since I tried this. HTH -pk

You convert to NTFS to run a defrag program, then convert back to FAT32 so you can run Linux? Please tell me you have some complicated, but believable, reason for this seeming silliness ("I enjoy it" is an example).

I have been using it without any problems for a while now. Although, I have noticed a few bugs when KDE tries to work with an NTFS partition. BTW, OP, there are EXT drivers for Windows that will allow you to access an EXT2/3 partition by mounting it as an EXT2 parition. But, since EXT2 lacks journalling, it's basically the same tradeoff as choosing FAT32 over NTFS.
