Partition problem NTFS -> FAT32 Drive letter changes.

[|mpeg|]

Currently I have Win2k on my C: (20 GIG NTFS DRIVE) and my D: (17.2 GIG BACKUp DRIVE). I want to fdisk the C: and make it FAT32 but I have done this previously and my D: (BACKUP) turns into C: then when I goto format the C: (main) turns into D: and the D: (backup drive) turns into the C:. how do i do this without this happening.

To sum it all up I want to keep my drive letters the same when I fdisk/format my NTFS drive to FAT32, how can this be done without my D: (backup drive) changing to C:?

Once you've formatted the new partition on the current NTFS drive, it should revert to C:, as long as it's the master drive on the first IDE channel. Just make sure you're formatting the correct drive letter. Easiest way to check is to use the dir command - an already formatted drive will give you a directory listing, and an unformatted drive will give you a message that the drive is not accessible.
