You'll.
From a command prompt, enter convert C: /fs:ntfs .
Assuming you mean the C drive by local disk, open up command prompt and run:
convert C: /FS:NTFS
answer yes to the prompts and then reboot.

This is a spin-off from another question I have regarding backup . I'm encountering trouble copying large files (above 4GB) to my USB HDD ( same in english ). I believe that this is a limitation with the FAT32 filesystem.

Try this in the command line
convert X: /fs:ntfs
change "X:" to the letter of the drive you would.
From FAT32 to NTFS (note: Convert CANNOT convert back to FAT32).

I do work in computer forensics and am trying to move my codebase from C++ to Java. I need a good open source implementation of all the various filesystems in Java to help this effort. Does anyone know of such an implementation?

It took many years to write functioning C drivers for NTFS for Linux! I doubt anyone is crazy.

The maximum possible number of clusters....
You cannot increase the cluster size on a volume using the FAT32 file system so that it ends up with less than 65,527 clusters.
A volume must contain at least 65,527 clusters to use the FAT32 file system.

Is it possible you're already NTFS? If you.
It would be convert c: /FS:NTFS /X How much free space do you have on the drive you're trying to convert? I'm not sure, but 15% sticks in my mind for some reason.
