NTFS creates the sectors in counting of 4, Suppose File size is 18, it will create 5 sectors (4,4,4,4,2).It means that only 2 sectors will be lost. But in case of FAT32 it creates sector in counting of 16 so for file size 18, it will create two sectors (16,2) it means 14 sectors will be lost and this will effects your transfer rate.You can convert FAT32 to NTFS and vice versa.Here is the step by step tutorial to convert FAT32 to NTFS.
