At first glance at the title, my friends must be confused. How can MacOS format the MS-DOS file system to the NTFS file system? Friends who have used Mac must also know that MacOS Disk Utility can format disks into MS-DOS (FAT), MS-DOS (FAT16) and MS-DOS (FAT32) file systems, but they cannot convert disks anyway. Formatted as NTFS file system, because NTFS system and MacOS system are not compatible.
However, through a small tool, it is really possible to format MS-DOS file system to NTFS file system on MacOS. Here, the editor recommends a useful tool for Mac - Tuxera NTFS for Mac software.
Tuxera NTFS for Mac software not only solves the compatibility problem between the Windows NTFS file system and the MacOS file system, but also realizes the copying of the files in MacOS to the NTFS format hard disk. Moreover, there is a "Tuxera Disk Manager" disk management tool in Tuxera NTFS for Mac software, which can format a USB disk using MS-DOS file system to NTFS file system.
The following editor uses an actual case to describe how to format a USB disk using MS-DOS (FAT16) file system to NTFS file system in MacOS.
First, connect the U disk to the Mac and open the Tuxera Disk Manager disk management tool. On the disk management tool interface, select the connected U disk PARALLELS. In the "Information" option interface, you can see the capacity of the U disk and the file system used is MS-DOS (FAT16) and other information.
Then, click the "Format" tab and select "Windows NT File System (Tuxera NTFS)" from the "File System" option.
Then click the "Format" button, and in the "Confirm to execute formatting" warning pop-up window, click the "Continue" button to format the U disk.
Wait patiently for Tuxera Disk Manager to format the USB flash drive.
Since the U disk has a capacity of only 2GB, the formatting process ends very quickly and returns to the "Format" interface of Tuxera Disk Manager.
Click "Information" in the Tuxera Disk Manager interface, you can see that the file system of the U disk has changed to "Windows NT File System (Tuxera NTFS)". In the MacOS system, the U disk has been formatted from the original MS-DOS (FAT16) file system to the NTFS file system
postscript
Although the Tuxera NTFS for Mac software is just a small tool, it solves the incompatibility between Windows and MacOS file systems, and the built-in Tuxera Disk Manager can completely replace the MacOS disk tool to achieve effective management of hard disks.
