I have another Drive, D:/, my C:/ drive is NTFS format, ( Just got it reformatted today ). How would I reformat my D:/ drive to be NTFS too? >.<

Do you want to keep the data of the disk, or erase them?

I don't care, as long as it goes to NTFS format. >.<

Anything stopping you from right clicking your D drive, then going to format, and selecting NTFS?

Yeah, it says 'Windows cannot complete.'

From your desktop click "my computer", then right click on the disk, choose "format" and then choose to make it NTFS.

EDIT: Aparently, this method doesn't work for you. Just from the command prompt type:
"convert D: /fs:ntfs" (without the ")

"CONVERT is not availible for RAW drives." >.<

I did the right-click format, and it got half way and said 'Cannot Complete.'

Try reformatting it as FAT32 and then convert it maybe?
