Is there a software like Fdisk or something that I can put on a floppy disk or cd so that I can boot it up and format my hard drive in NTFS (not FAT 32 or 16) ???? Because I know window XP cd can do that but it takes too long to boot up, so I wannt something else similar to that . Anyone knows? thx.

XP boot disks (basically same as the XP installatin CD) or if you have a copy of Partition Magic, you can use the rescue disk.

Do you want to wipe our all the data on your hard drive or do you want to just convert it to ntfs?

Why do you need to do this? If your backingup/restoring just let Ghost know the target is NTFS and it will format/write the files on the fly. If you just have one empty drive you need to format, just boot and let the OS do it (it's gonna need to write a signature to the disk anyhow)
