Can't format to NTFS with upgrade from Millenium

[carl]

Does anybody know why I can't reformat my hard drive to
use NTFS?

I have upgraded to XP Home edition from Windows
Millenium. My computer is a HP Pavillion laptop, P3,
900MHz. In the Format control panel the choice for NTFS
is no available.

i would suggest a fresh format from scracth - you do not want to end up more
or less with 2 O/S in your system - especially with ME as one of them!
