Convert your External Drive to NTFS w/out reformating

Got me a new WD 1TB drive and I saw that WD has a 2TB model on the shelf. I am not gonna test it out but I would love to have one! I am converting my 1TB model over to NTFS now so I can store those BIG files...again.

Ive actually got about all the porn I can handle! lol I use to DL porn all the time but im kinda bored with it. After a few TB's youve seen it all. Now I just collect HD movies and old classics.

On the conversation of FAT32, isn't it also limited to a 40 gig partition?

I don't get what youre saying. My 1TB drive came with FAT32 as do most drives for some reason. FAT just will not handle the large files I download but I do not know about a partition limit.

Whenever I had a drive that was more than 40 gigs, I had to format it in NTFS because FAT32 didn't allow it to be larger. I even had problems with NTFS with partitions larger than 137 gigs (odd number?) but they fixed that with XP SP1.
