Converting phone memory from FAT to FAT32

X

Hey DiGitian,
Before posting this i have searched on web and even in the diGit itself, but couldn't find any thing which would have been worked for me.
The problem is that i am having a cell phone whose internal memory is just 50Kbs (which really sucks) & i plugged my cellphone in my PC and Get it formatted by windows formatter which changes it's file system to FAT.
I know that my phone supports only FAT32, so now it's not showing my phone memory in the cellphone and due to this music player in my cellphone is not opening, i can only play my song list via memory card which really sucks!
Also i used SD formatter and HP USB format tool, they both are not working.

I was hoping to get a nice solution from you DiGitians.
Thanks :cry:

I believe Windows 7 would give you the option of choosing Fat or Fat32 formats...

@OP: after connecting your phone to PC through Data cable.
right click onyour device which appear in my computer.
then click on format after that the dialogue box appear in which select
File system as FAT32.
click on start.
after format complete your phone memory will be in FAT32 file system.

Well as i told you i have searched everything, i did mean it!
I have also use that particular CMD Prompt method but not working.
Also to make you clear that It's not a hard drive or Pen drive, it's my PHONE MEMORY ))))
if there are any other external softwares other than mentioned above available which i could try!!
Thanks..

Yeah for sure.
Company: Maxx Mobile (Made in India)
Model: MT105
Base: MAUI
Internal Memory: 50KB (this is what it shows when i purchased it).

I think this info is enough, but if you want more info about it tell me!
Thanks!

@xanubhavx: have you tried to format it on friends PC where windows 7 installed.

other way: If your mobile has Restore factory setting option then try it as well.

[In Nokia mobile there are two option Restore setting only & Restore all.
Restore setting only:Restore setting only.
Restore all:Restore setting & delete all data also.]

I haven't tried formatting in Windows 7 yet, I will convey the results as soon as i get it formatted in Win 7..
And Restoring factory setting doesn't help at all.

Thanks.

Okay. Can you write files into it from your PC? Also are you able to reformat it in FAT?

@xanubhavx:
Download CVT tool from following link.
CVT

After downloading copy that EXE file to your UTI folder.
(i.e C:\Documents and settings\UTI)

Go to command prompt.
Type "cvt %drive%" where %drive% is the drive letter assigned to the phone memory which you have to format to FAT32.press Enter.

Try changing the default allocation size to something else and see if fat32 appears.

Not working dude!!
I tried it formatting it in NTFS, but it left my phone's memory Unformatted, still not giving FAT32 Option!!

Thanks for the help!! Any other help!

Are you sure it was fat32 earlier? The reason the music player is not opening might be the deletion of it's files from the phone memory. Which is your phone? Find out if there is a software suite for your phone and see if you can re install the music player back.
