How the hell can you convert it?

After completing Setup, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
In the command window, type help convert and then press ENTER. Information about converting FAT volumes to NTFS is made available as shown below.

Converting FAT volumes to NTFS

To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt

Open Command Prompt.
In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

At the end of the day i was unable to convert it cause apple makes it so much harder it had to be restored but lickily i got wondershare and it does miracles after formatting fat32 to ntfs I recovered most the music not 100% perfect but i got like 70% of the music back (the music has some pauses but no biggie )
