My computer will not see my USB external drive

I understand from talking to ALOT of people, that the problem I'm having is, because 
Windows ME will not see an NTFS drive.
Since this is a newer drive and an older operating system, herein lays the problem.

Does anyone have an answer for this, other than getting a newer operating system 
OR formatting my external drive?  Is there a software solution?

You can find NTFS reader software to read the contents of the Drive, but to make the Drive useful in Windows ME, you need to convert it to Fat 32 .
