I used Partition Manager to change my Win2K NTFS C:\ partition to FAT32 and was left with an unbootable system. Luckily I had backed up using Drive Image and easily recovered. (I was using Partition Magic 6 at the time, which was certified to be compatible with Win2K. I haven't tried it with Partition Magic 8.) It may be possible to go from NTFS to FAT32, but it would require more than just running Partition Manager and rebooting. At the very least it might require changes to boot.ini. Regards, Bill ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I used Partition Magic 8 to convert from NTFS to FAT32 on XP, and have run Win2k in the past on FAT32(I think, since I usually want Win98 to be able to access all partitions and I like the convenience of FAT32 for local machines) PM 8 has the usual disclaimers and you should make a good image (Drive Image or Ghost) before you start. I didn't have to change any of the boot files(boot.ini, etc). If you have the image you can recover in a few minutes if something goes wrong.
