NTFS and FAT32 file system errors.

[SikGaek]

Hi, so I got the game Citadel: Forged with Fire, and when I tried installing the game, it told me that I can't install the game of FAT32 file system and must be on the NTFS file system. So I checked and it is set to NTFS, and in fact, it doesn't even have an option for FAT32. Also, I installed many other games onto my Hard Drive without problems. Any possible fixes?

Are you actually 100% sure its ntfs? You cant install on fat32 due to the filesize limitations on fat32

I went into my files and right clicked on the disk and in format, it shows NTFS. Under file system, it says NTFS(Default) as the only option.

That means you're about to format it as NTFS, it doesn't say anything about what it is now.

Click properties instead and see what it says under filesystem, pretty good odds it'll say FAT32.

You right, but how can I format it without deleting all files in disk? I don't have another disk I can temporarily transfer the files on to. Thank you for the help.
