I guess you're talking about Rsamtools; if you mean samtools, then this 
is not the right forum. How did you try to convert the file? It should be

   library(Rsamtools)
   asBam("../AlignedData/S1_L001_001.SAM", "../AlignedData/S1_L001_001")

What did you try? Also, Bowtie2 will be able to output BAM files directly.
