EXFAT drive to NTFS

Have a look at this: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=373964
Seems like all my research points to "you can't". Other than removing
the data, format it, and put the data back. If it's your OS, that's a
tough one.

Looked at it. It talks about FAT32 to NTFS. I need exFAT to NTFS.

Any alternative to save / reformatting / reload?

I didn't see any info telling us the size the disk in question or how full
it is, or whether you have a spare disk to use as a temporary place for your
data. I'd just like to throw out that if you don't have an empty spare disk
handy, and your current disk has a reasonable amount of free space on it,
you can do a 'reformat in place' by shrinking the current exFAT partition,
making a new NTFS partition in the newly freed space, copying your data to
the NTFS partition, removing the exFAT partition, and extending your NTFS
partition to fill the drive. You may have to lather, rinse, repeat one or
more times, but it gets the job done without requiring a second drive.

I had to laugh at your simple solution :-)

OK, it's not that complicated, but it *is* a bit of work to carry out.
And, after all, I'm sometimes too easily amused...

Since it surely would work, it seems a good last resort.
