Greetings-

Partition Magic *will* convert partitions from FAT to FAT32 and vice-versa.

Does anyone know if it will safely convert a Win95 boot partition (C:) from
FAT32 to FAT?

I inadvertently formatted a drive as FAT32 and installed Win95. After
getting the whole thing setup over a period of weeks, I went to install
NT4.0 and discovered the problem. I have Partition Magic and have
experimented with converting other partitions to FAT, and it works, but I
have yet to gather the courage to risk the boot partition.

Anybody out there with expertise in this area?

Thanks-
