Description:
I have a 4GB main drive partitioned with Fat32 into 1 drive. I am about to upgrade to WindowsNT 4.0 and I understand that it doesn't support Fat32. How can I easily change back to Fat or Fat16 without reformatting? I am going to do a dual boot as I have a couple of apps not compatible with NT.

Thanks,
..Chris

Christopher, thanks for your question.

I don't think that is easily done if you don't want to lose the data in the hard drive. I believe Win98 will have some kind of utility that will hepl you do that.

In the meanwhile I have heard that Partition Magic 3 (http://www.powerquest.com) might be able to do this - I suggest you check with them. It's a good program.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
