I've now set up XP Pro on a new 20G x7200 hard drive.  My motherboard is USB 2.0 compliant.

I plan to keep using my previous system drive, a 40G x7200 Maxtor, in a USB enclosure.  The OS on this drive was W98SE.

Here's my query:  Is it possible or even desirable to convert the old drive (in it's USB enclosure) to NTFS?

There's some 30Gb of data on the drive, in the form of MP3's, jpg's and files etc, but I plan to delete the Windows folder along with any associated files.
