    there's a command you can run. i don't rember what it is. search in the windows help and support on the start menu for "convert to ntfs" or something similar and it should give you the exact command line for it.

    here it is if you can't find it...

    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.
