GParted does not support converting from ext2 to NTFS file systems.  In fact I am unaware of any tool that would perform this conversion.

Re: EXT2 to NTFS Conversion...!

This means that you can't convert the file system keeping the files in the partition. It is always possible to reformat the partition as NTFS. In this case you need to backup your files, as the partition content is lost.

Concerning the Backtrack issue, please look at this topic

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***
