Floppy disks do not use fat32 or even fat16, for that matter. They use fat12
because it is more efficient given the small capacity of the disks. No
conversion is necessary. You can just copy them directly to a zip or cd-r
drive. Win2K reads fat32, anyway, it's win9x that can't read NTFS.

> I've been using W2K for sum time, but I halven't made the switch to NTFS
because I've got a lot ov data stored on floppies as FAT32. Will NTFS reed
these floppies or do I need to downlode them onto the hard drive, make the
conversion, and then put them on a ZIP or CD-R and store them in NTFS
format?
