How can i format a partition to NTFS?

[i-am-waiting]

Hello people!

On my MacBook i am having a little trouble actually installing windows on a bootcamp partition. When installing XP it just installs and then when i boot into the partition it just says 'disk error press any key to reboot' and when i try to install windows 7 it says i cant because it needs to be NTFS formatted, so how can i format it to NTFS?

How do i format a bootcamp partition to NTFS?

Thanks!

Use this: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/boot_camp_install-setup.pdf

XP doesn't just install by itself...you have to select the format for the partition once your computer reboots into the windows installer.

I did the same thing when I first installed windows and then realized how dumb of a mistake I made.
