Not at all, you just need to re-format the disk using a sensible file
system. If you're using Linux, that's ext3, if you're using Windows, NTFS.
If you have data on there you really want to keep and you can't back it
up elsewhere while you do the re-format, then hunt down "gparted" -- it
has a live CD that you can use to grow, shrink and move partitions so
you'll be able to move stuff around your mobile disk while you shrink
the FAT32 partition and grow the NTFS partition. The shrink/grow/move
cycle can take several hours though, depending on how often you have to
do it (which in turn depends on how full the disk is).
