Hello! You ca not upgrade it from one to another file system. If you want run XP on this hard drive, you will have to format it first and after that install XP. You can easily format it from XP installation disc. Just choose option full format. After you done that, make partitions (You can do that with Partition Magic, too) and install XP.
