Don't use a drill to widen presta holes for schrader. Buy one of these:

They're at your local hardware store for a few bucks. You'll have much more control and get a cleaner hole. Follow up with some 800 grit sandpaper rolled into a little tube and polish the inside of the hole.

That said, I'm a fan of presta valves and if the wheels are already set up with presta, why switch?
