Guys i've read a lot of conflicting posts. Can anyone settle definitely if you can convert an External HD from FAT32 to NTFS Format WITHOUT formatting the Hard Drive?

I can't upload files larger than 4GB and would like to do this if possible without erasing. Thanks a bunch!

Your Mac's Specs
15" MBP '06 2.33 C2D 4GB 10.7; 13" MBA '14 1.8 i7 8GB 10.11; 21" iMac '13 2.9 i5 8GB 10.11; 6S
Not in OS X - Need a machine running at least Win XP and use the convert command. Don't know if MS left it available in Win 7 / 8 or not.

Still wouldn't do it without a backup of the drive though.
