If you copy all boot files (not only BOOT.INI) to the FAT16 primary (and
active) partition, and if you put NT on a FAT16 or NTFS partition, and if
you edit the BOOT.INI so the ARC is correct. Then, in theory, you can do it.
But I am not sure if the programs you have installed will work if the drive
letters change.

I was wondering if it is possible to convert my C drive to fat32 and
still be able to maintain my dual boot capabilities between Win98 and
NT Workstation. I have run out of options as far as available space
on my C:\ . I would like to use Partition Magic 4.0 to convert my C
drive to Fat 32. This physical drive consists of 2 partitions: C: fat
16 and E: Fat 32. Because of the 2 Gig limit for fat 16 I cannot
convert the E drive to fat 16 and resize to gain the much needed
space. Therefore, I am forced to convert my C drive to fat32 and then
take the space required from the other partition. My only concern at
this time is how do I keep my dual boot capabilities? Can I copy the
boot.ini file to a safe place, perform the needed transition and then
setup a small 100meg fat16 bootsector partition and copy the
original boot.ini file back to the newly formed fat 16 partition or
am I way off base?
