How can I change the file system on an external drive? I have saved files to it from my laptop as NTFS but when I connect it to my desktop the properties window says the file system is RAW, so it will not read from or write to the drive. Any suggestions please?

As usual Andrew is giving bad advice. Be aware that the advice given will destroy all of the data on that drive.
