How to reformat NTFS Hdrive back to Fat32? - Page 4

I'm not sure why I cant install Win98 on my my newer system.The only reason I even tried to install it was to fix a glitch in Outcast.XP pro without s/packs has done the trick anyway.If I add any s/packs though,the problem returns.
Infogrammes Europe does'nt exist anymore & Outcast was a critical but not commercial success,so I'm sure M/soft is'nt losing any sleep about whether it is any fault of it's serv/packs!

A couple of fun reasons:

If you do a lot of music recording work, most software requires FAT32.

With FAT32, you can go back to version 6.0 of Ghost for image backups, as it pre-dates DRM and copyprotection. It's simply a bit-copier and pays no attention to anything DRMish.

That's a good reason.

Hi,
According to me you can convert from FAT32 to NTFS in XP.So
Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command:

C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs

Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert.

After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without of data loss.
