change from FAT32 to FAT16
i have a laptop running Win98SE and a 1GB unpartitioned hard drive that is FAT32. I want to change it to FAT16. As far as i know this can only be done by using FDISK. However i would like to know how exactly i should respond to the options in FDISK especially since i do not wish to partition the drive. write to airreef@rediffmail.com

Using FDISK will wipe out the drive, requiring everything to be reinstalled from scratch.
To do this, just answer "NO" to the initial query about enabling large disk support. |

Get Partition Magic.... it will do it without wiping the drive.
