Let me preface this stab in the dark by saying that I've never heard of this problem, and do not know what will happen for sure if you do what I am about to suggest.

That being said, have you tried using the convertfs command on that hard drive? To do this, open up a command line, then type convert c: /fs:ntfs. This is assuming your c: drive is the one you want to convert, which I'm sure it's not. Let me know what happens if you decide to try this.

Edit: Waitaminute....Did you try just assigning it a new drive letter? It will be under disk management as well. Give that a shot, see if it does anything.
