I followed every step but I received this error message:

Data directory error

the PostgreSQL data directory must be on an NTFS formatted volume. If you wish to install the data directory on another type of partitionn (which is not recommended and is unsupported) you must initialize the databse cluster manually by running initdb.exe



I don't know how to solve this problem, plz help me~~ thank you guys.

Hi, you are running FAT32 which is bad - NTFS is a much better file system for preserving your file integrity. Good news is that you can convert from FAT32 to NTFS pretty easily.

Here is a link, it is just one line at a command prompt:

hi, i'm at command prompt, and after i typed in "convert c:/fs:ntfs"
system showed me "convert is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch files.

..i really suck at these things.
