Howdy:

As per Microsoft..
To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt


1: Open Command Prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.


2: In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs


For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
