Well If Your Running Anything including windows 2000 or above, then it's just a matter of reformatting the drive and choosing NTFS when you do, Sorry, No Other Way To Do It but Reformat The Drive.

To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
Open the Command Prompt window.
In the command prompt window, type
convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format.

You have to upgrade to an operating system that uses ntfs, like windows xp.

First, what operating system are you running? It must not be Windows XP, because XP is NTFS.
