From what I understand, there's no free-and-easy way to convert a drive from one file format to the other. (I believe there are some software applications which may do this but they're not cheap and usually not worth it, especially with the cost of HDs being as low as they are.)

My suggestion... spend another $100 and get a second HD to duplicate the current contents of your NTFS drive to. You can either get a much larger drive and make that your HOME drive (in NTFS format) or get something similar in size, format it FAT32 and then copy all the data over to it.
