You'll definitely have to copy all the data off, format and copy back.
 No other way I'm afraid, as the on disk formats are entirely
different and there's no way to convert it from NTFS or FAT -> Linux
format.

BTW all the disk formats that Linux provides are as secure as each
other as they all the use the same access control layer in the kernel.

Or a staging area on a different computer, CD/DVD backups, copy it all
to a gmail account.  The possibilities are endless. ;-)
