you have DSL i'm assuming? and letters where? drive letters? and for the NTFS, as i'm sure you know your going to need windows 2000 or XP. you can boot to recovery console or command prompt and type "convert drive_letter: /fs:NTFS" and that will do it.. or you can just re-install the os and choose "NTFS" before you install..
you dont want NTFS on a p2. FAT32 is much more efficient for old procs.
