How do I convert my hard drive NTFS partition to FAT32?

[TGCid]

Is there a program with win2k that can convert back to FAT32? Any program out there? Thanks.

Unfortunately not,
you are looking at FDISK format c:

Nuh huh... not with anything included in win2k. BUT... if you have the updated partition magic 5.01 that works in win2k it CAN convert NTFS to fat32. Also the DOS floppy version of PM5.0 will do it too.

Pm5 will do it..

Nothing included with Win2k can do it, but as the others said PM5 will do it if you have it.

Ok thanks, I know that Parition Magic can do it, but just thought there was a simplier way or a free program.

Backup everything first though as I recently tried the updated PM on a NTFS drive and had about 20 files out of 7000+ that were corrupted afterwards.
The manual gives a few warnings that you will lose file system specific information.
If you can complete the conversion PM will give you either a Severe warning which means you may lose data, a Conversion warning or no warnings at all.
