Going from FAT32 to NTFS doesn't require a wipe (the command is 'convert c: /ntfs'). Going from NTFS to FAT32 can also be done, but you'll need a third party program like Partition Magic.

Likewise, I can't see why Apple couldn't just write a conversion utility.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
