[RESOLVED] How do I change Hard Drive File System?
I have a Freecom HDD 370Gb external hard drive( a Samsung product) which has an FAT 32 file system. I want to change it to an NTFS file system. How do I do it? (Right click of the mouse offers "format..." Will this option format and change it to the NTFS file system by default? (I use XP Home and FireFox as default browser although I do have IE7 on my computer)
In your replies and suggestions, please do not be worried you might insult me by giving me very basic information. I have never undertaken such a project before :confused: . So the more you can hold my hand in this, the more I will be grateful.
Thanx

This is a Terrific forum with terrific help. Many thanx you all three guys for your advice and tips. You made this task so easy for me - I had really thought it would be a formidable journey. I checked thoroughly the data on my drive and found some to be obsolete and much of it already elsewhere.
Thus I decided I could afford to lose it. Consequently I formatted the drive.
The formatting solution converted it to NTFS without any fuss.
The NTFS web-site is a great experience and I learnt so much from it. Many many thanx indeed to all of you.
