   I just recently installed to Winodows XP Pro, and I want to switch the file system to NTFS. I tried right clicking on the harddrive icon and formatting the drive but it wont let me. Does anyone know how I can get around this?

   Hi, just before you do have a look here, I personally prefer NTFS.
