Formatting External Drive Partition

[hitman050]

Hi, I have an external drive, and I would like to backup my HD movies. But the problem is that the partition in the external drive are FAT32, which cannot store more than 4gb per file. So, I want to know how I exactly I can format the partitions to NTFS without any data loss.

Thanks

Go to computer management>Storage>Disk management here you should see the disk provided you have attatched it to pc
