I doubt it, since the MPC may not even recognize an NTFS formatted drive, being that the new OS is FAT32. You'll need to use a Windows 98 or Millenium Edtion Statup Disk (floppy) and use the fdisk utility to delete the exisiting NTFS partiton. If you need any help, send me a PM, and I'll walk you through the entire process.
