you have converted your file system to ntfs on other disk
also first disk is fat32 file system . now fat32 does'nt
understand what ntfs file system is . niether fat32 not
fat will understand ntfs file system

to convert to ntfs file system the syntax is
convert.exe <drive> /fs:ntfs.
once converted to ntfs it can't be reverted back to fat32
file system. until unless entire data is earsed..
