A: simply right click on that drive and say format ... and make sure that you have chosen ... NTFS ..as format option ... and ya.. its NTFS .. not NFTS .. lol ... anyways ... in case you don;t know .. NTFS is basically used to enhance security .. so if you don't need "extra" security .. then better you don't play with your HDD .. XP can go with NTFS as well as FAT & FAT32 njoy
