no you don't have to do that. you can use a program like partition magic to change the formatting from FAT32 to NTFS without losing anything. All it does is change the file system so all your files aren't changed.
If you just need to convert fat32->ntfs there's a tool built into windows.
convert drive letter: /fs:ntfs
