hi terry,

You can reformat an external drive in my computer by right clicking the 
drive and selecting format. then select ntfs. As for converting your primary 
drive, it can be done using the command line, but for the life of me i can't 
remember what the commands are. could someone help me out here please?

Hope this is of some use,

Aiden
