ntfs to fat32

[dud2k]

my friend said i can convert NTFS to Fat32 using partition magic 5.01.. is that true? he said i can do it even without losing data

works like a charm, but jeez on my 45 gb hard drive, a conversion like that and a partition into a 30 gig and 15 gig took me dang near 5 hours to complete on a 1.1 gig tbird system with the ibm 75gxp drives running ata100.

5 Hours!! Probably quicker to do a backup / format / reinstall ^^

 

[dud2k]

how do i format a ntfs drive to become fat32 agaiin then?

You would need to do an FDISK and repartion the drive, then format.
