Backup your data on the drive you're converting first, just in case windows playfully trashes your system
If the drive is a data drive (and the data backed up or moved) you can just format it within WinXP as NTFS, right click on the drive and choose FORMAT, I think it's NTFS by default!
Also from the Windows Help File:
Quote:
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
Notes:- To open a command prompt, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
- You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.

Doesn't say if the data will be detroyed or not though so better back it up beforehand, which you shouild do anyway regardless!
