No. You can use it to reformat an NTFS partition to FAT32, by running FDISK first,
but you can't perform an NTFS format as such.
When you boot, the DOS prompt will appear, but it simply won't recognise the existence
of the NTFS partition. It will only recognise your CD drive and the RAM drive D
which Windows sets up (and, of course, your floppy drive if you have one).
