To convert an external drive to NTFS

1. Log on to your computer as an administrator.

2. Click Start, right-click My Computer.

3. In the My Computer window, make a note of the drive letter and label assigned to your external drive. Usually, the drive letter will be E or F. The drive letter will not be C (that’s the hard drive inside your computer). The
label is the word between the drive picture and the drive letter. Some
drives may not have a label.

4. Click Start, click Run, and then type convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

5. A command window appears. Type the label for your external drive, and
then press ENTER. If your drive does not have a label, just press ENTER.

6. If a message warns you that the volume is in use by another process, close any other open windows. Then, press Y and then ENTER.
