I've got a new drive that i want to install win2k on, and after searching the forum, i only see mention of people converting their fat32 partition to ntfs in win2k...is there a way to do it before installation? thanks
 
If it's a new drive, you won't have any problems converting it. You will be given the option to make a NTFS partition during install of W2K.

Since it's a new drive you don't have any partitions on it. Depending on how big it is you might consider making multiple partitions. One for the OS one for progs, and one for your documents.
 
PartitionMagic, Ranish (the freebie!), and most any other partitioning tool can make NTFS volumes without the need of making a FAT volume and then converting it.

I think thats better you make the transformation during win 2000 instalation, because is more simple and secure to make, remember that ntfs dont are visible for most systems only win nt and 2000.
