Default File System Conversion from NTFS to back to FAT32

it does.

Even though PM8 theoretically will convert NTFS to FAT32, I have never
been able to actually do it. There seems to always be some catch,
e.g. compressed files, encrypted files, some file system error. Try
as I might, I could never resolve the problems that PM8 would
identify.

I *thought* that a networked comuter (W98) could read the NTFS file
system from your host because it used the native system to access the
file system. Somebody, I am sure politely, will correct me if I am
wrong.

Hey, quick question. I know it's possible, because I did it a year or

two
ago, but just simply forgot since I haven't done it in a while. How do

you
convert a partition from NTFS back to FAT32 without having to reformat?

I
need to share an NTFS partition, which is my largest partition, with a

WIN98
SE computer and cannot remember how-to convert the file system back to

NTFS.
If anybody could help me out, I'd be very thankful. Also, if you can

think
of a way of sharing it without actually converting the file system

back,
that would also be helpful. The network has two computers. Mine being

a
WinXP computer with 3 partitions. 2x20GB partitions (1xNTFS and

1xFAT32)
and 1x100GB partition (NTFS). My roommates is a Win98 SE computer with

a
4GB drive in it. Since I have so much space, I said I would share my

music
and movies with him, so that he doesn't have to worry about taking up

what
little space he does have. The router I'm using for the internet

connection
sharing is a Linksys Ethernet Broadband Router DI-604. Thanks in

advance
for any replies.


Eh, you need a third party program to do that... Partition Magic 8 is the
only one I can think of off the top of my head that'll do it.
Dave.
