Conversion From FAT32 To Ntfs

I have a external USB hard drive (1 TB) and i need to uncompress a winrar file that's a bit more than 8gb but winrar says the FAT32 system doesn't support files larger than 4gb,

This was a shock to me because yesterday i did some game transfering and i transferred GTA V and some other games that are larger than 4gb (compressed into a file like: NFSMW.rar)

Following a youtube tutorial i've come to this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

C:\Users\User>chkdsk K: /f
The type of the file system is FAT32.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Chkdsk may run if this volume is dismounted first.
ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID.
Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? (Y/N) y
Volume dismounted.  All opened handles to this volume are now invalid.
Volume ADATA HV620 created 27.10.2015 19:27
Volume Serial Number is 1AFA-3A60
Windows is verifying files and folders...
File and folder verification is complete.

Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems.
No further action is required.

C:\Users\User>convert K: /FS:Ntfs
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Enter current volume label for drive K:

 

 

Now i'm stuck and don't know what to write there as the tutorial didn't specify.

it's just requesting the name for the drive. I believe it can be blank, or you can just call it MyDisk or whatever you want

The best way to measure the quality of a piece of code is "Oh F*** "s per line

go to a cmd prompt and do the following:

k:
vol

the reply will be either:

  1. Volume in drive K is _____ - and that's your volume label
  2. Volume in drive K has no label - and that means it doesn't have a label, leave it blank, press enter

 

you can also do this from Windows Explorer by right clicking the K drive and then Properties

the marked space shows you volume label
