Format to NTFS
I am trying to format my second hard drive to use the NTFS instead of FAT 32. Right click, Format, tells me that it cannot do it. Make sure the drive is not being used, it says.
There is nothing on it. How do I do this?

Which operating system? On 200 and XP, you should be able to convert from FAT32 to NTFS in the Admin Tools

The PC I had NTFS on was a brand new build. I installed a game (don't remember which one) and treid to play it. I could play it but I was noticeing frequent stutters in the graphics and sound. I then reformatted the PC to fat32 and all the stutters went away. Both times I was using 2k installed from the same disk.

I don't remember for sure. This was a while ago. I have since rebuilt that pc many times. It'* now a multimedia pc hooked up to my home stereo (AC3) and 55" widescreen (*-video).
I do remember it was a graphical game though... something like BF1942, AvP, or something along those lines.
