I missed part of this thread so forgive me if my questions have already been
covered.

(1)Does this conversion utility that comes with Win98 mean that I won't have
to reformat my hard drives?  I always thought that I would have to reformat
to take advantage of FAT32.

(2)Currently I am running Win95a (OSR1?) with two hard drives.  One drive is
a single partition and the other has three partitions. Can Win98 "see" both
hard drives and all partitions as one "drive" after running the conversion?
