Convert a FAT32 volume to NTFS without losing any data

To convert a FAT32 volume to NTFS without losing any data, you can use the built-in Windows command-line tool. Here's how:

Steps to Convert FAT32 to NTFS:

  1. Backup Your Data (Optional but Recommended):

    • Although this method is designed to keep your data intact, it's always a good idea to back up your important files in case something goes wrong.

  2. Open Command Prompt:

    • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type cmd and press Enter. Alternatively, search for Command Prompt in the Start menu and select "Run as Administrator."

  3. Run the Conversion Command:

    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter: 
      convert D: /fs:ntfs
      Replace D: with the letter of the drive you want to convert.

  4. Wait for the Process to Complete:

    • The system will process the conversion. It might take some time depending on the size of the drive and the amount of data stored on it.

  5. Verify the Conversion:

    • Once the conversion is complete, open File Explorer, right-click the drive, and select Properties.
    • Under the File System section, it should now display NTFS.

Key Points:

  • This method converts the file system in-place without formatting, so your data remains intact.
  • Make sure there’s enough free space on the drive for the conversion process to complete successfully.
  • System and boot drives cannot be converted while the system is running. For these drives, you may need to use a third-party tool or perform the conversion externally.

Quotation marks to wrap an element in HTML

In HTML, quotation marks can be used to wrap an element, providing visual emphasis and indicating that the enclosed content represents a quotation.  This styling technique enhances the presentation of quoted text on web pages. Setting default quotation marks: To set quotation marks to wrap an element in HTML, you can use the `quotes` CSS property along with the `content` property to specify the quotation marks to be used (the below example uses the default quotes value, so it is not mentioned as can be seen). Here's how it can be achieved: /* Define the quotation marks */ .q:before { content: open-quote; } .q:after { content: close-quote; } In this CSS: - `open-quote` represents the opening quotation mark. - `close-quote` represents the closing quotation mark. Now, you can apply the `.q` class to elements where you want to set quotation marks: <p class="q">This is a quoted text.</p> This will render as: “ This is a quoted...

Create Basic "Search Engine" in Python

The following script is a very basic search engine in python. It takes user input, checks it against the so-called indexed content and returns the results in decreasing order of match cases. def matches(userQuery, indexedData): count = 0 for wordQ in userQuery.split(" "): for wordS in indexedData.split(" "): if wordQ == wordS.lower(): count += 1 # return f"{count} Result(s) found!" return count # print(f"{count} Result(s) found!") if __name__ == "__main__": sentences = ["python is a beginner-friendly programming language", "it is good to start with python your coding journey", "There are many programming languages", "youtube shorts is a great way to create videos instantly", "car is goood for convenience, bike is better when you are solo"] q...
