Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for converting from a complex file system such as a Microsoft NTFS file system or a Linux ext2fs file system, to a simpler FAT file system. Features of the advanced file system are identified and handled. Depending on the circumstances, some features are carried over to the resulting FAT file system, while other features carry over only partially or not at all.
