"You can convert NTFS drives to FAT? I never heard of this."-fluid11

Yes you can convert NTFS to FAT...it's a third party program called "Partition Magic" made by PowerQuest. You just can't convert a "dynamic disk" or a NTFS on a Win2k server.

I'm familiar with PM, but I didn't know it could convert NTFS to FAT. I just did a quick google search and found this...


It doesn't sound like the greatest idea though...

"But this conversion is a one-way process. Windows XP provides a native tool for converting FAT to NTFS, but no tool for converting NTFS to FAT. It may be possible to convert NTFS to FAT using Partition Magic 7.01, but the result is uncertain. It you attempt it, it is essential that you first decrypt all encrypted files, or they will be forever inaccessible. (For this reason, Partition Magic will stop if it finds one.) If it is a new machine, too, be sure that your warranty will not be compromised by doing a file system conversion."


Another utility called Partition Commander (that I've never used) claims that it can convert NTFS to FAT, including compressed volumes that PM can't do....
