It's weird that it won't let you do it on restart. Is there any reason why you want the External Hard Drive to be NTFS, unless it's needed I don't know why it can't just stay as FAT32. ;>

If he is using it to store HD movies or something... cause anything single file over 4gb, fat32 freaks out.
Thats exactly the reason. I need to transfer files of over 6gb to that HDD, and this is the reason why i need it to be NTFS.

Formatting is probably the last thing i can do, but i find it interesting that it wont even let me do it on startup because the file system cannot be recognised :S
You have the intellect comparable to that of a rock. Be proud.
