 with a partion identified as being 'FAT32X'.

 1 - 'Drive Image' identified the existing partition was full of data (it
 wasn't) & refused to re-size it to fit the new (larger) hard drive.
 2 - 'Partition Magic' would not convert the FAT32X partition.

 This prompts me to ask two questions:

 1 - What causes a partition to become FAT32X ?
 2 - Is there anything I can do with it ?

Hi,
  A FAT32 partition becomes a FAT32X partition when it is over 8.4 gigabytes
in size. Partition Magic before version 4.0 could not work with FAT32X
partitions. I have PM version 3.03, and got version 4.0 specifically for that
reason.
  I haven't used Drive Image, so I can't comment on that.

HTH,
Peter Hogan
