Check your programs in System Tools off the  Accessories...  there should
already be a FAT32 convertor there.  If there is not, just go to ADD/Remove
programs for Windows, have your WIN98SE CD ready, and add the new program.
There is a DOS version that comes with Windows too.

Subject: After the fact switch from FAT 16 to FAT 32

Two years after installing Win98SE on six new machines, we discovered that
one of them was set up with FAT 16 rather than FAT 32.  This results in
about 11% percent of the hard drive being available.  This was a real bozo
error.  However, in the two years it took to surface, a lot of data and
installed software has accumulated.

Short of copying all data to another hard drive for temporary storage, then
re-partitioning with Fdisk and reinstalling Win98SE and all software from
scratch, a tedious and long task, does anyone have a suggestion for a way
to do the conversion to FAT 32 that would preserve existing programs and
data?

Thanks in advance.  Dave Ralph
