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...

The Basic Structure of a Full-Stack Web App

A basic structure of a full-stack web application typically consists of three main components: the front end, the back end, and the database.  Each component serves a specific role in the application's architecture. Here's an overview of the basic structure: Front End: The front end is the user-facing part of the application that users interact with directly. It's responsible for presenting data to users, collecting user input, and providing a user-friendly interface. Common technologies used in the front end include HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Front-end frameworks and libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js are often used to build interactive and dynamic user interfaces. Basic Components of the Front End: User Interface (UI) Components User Input Forms Display of Data Interaction Logic (JavaScript) Back End: The back end is the server-side portion of the application responsible for handling business logic, data processing, and serving data to the front end. It communicates...

What is the difference between iostream and iostream.h in cpp?

In C++, there are two seemingly similar headers for input/output operations: iostream and iostream.h. However, they have key differences you should be aware of: 1. Standard vs. Non-Standard: **iostream** is the standard header for input/output operations in C++. It is part of the C++ Standard Library and is guaranteed to be available and consistent across different compilers. **iostream.h** is a non-standard header . It was used in pre-standard C++ and some early compilers. It is not part of the C++ Standard Library and its availability and behavior might vary depending on the compiler. 2. Namespace: **iostream** defines everything within the **std** namespace. This helps avoid naming conflicts with other libraries or user-defined functions. **iostream.h** does not use namespaces. This means all its elements are directly available in the global namespace, which can lead to potential naming conflicts and is generally considered less modern practice. 3. Recommendations: Always use iostr...
