Go to the Start -> Run program.
In the Open: dialogue box type...

cmd

This should open a DOS type window.
No type the following command in the DOS window...

convert C: /fs:ntfs

where C: is the drive to be converted normally C: but you can convert any drive letter. You'll have to reboot and you'll see the drive being converted half-way through the boot process

Typing the following command in the DOS windows will give you some help on using the command if you want more information...

help convert

I would'nt bother with much of the other switches the above command should be fine.
