Ubuntu - how do i format a drive as ntfs?

[Chronictank]

Hi all,
i cant seem to find the commands i am looking for on the web
Could you please point me to the right direction on how to format a drive as ntfs-3g (searching around this is the fastest filesystem also usable by windows)

Thanks in advance

hehe seems it would be simpler just to stick it in a windows machine and then put it back pre-formatted ><
