hi terry,

sorry. the only way to get this partition back from ntfs to fat 32 is to format it.
convert is only for the way from fat32 to ntfs

You should be able to convert the partition using a program like PartitionMagic. You can probably download a demo version of the program at zdnet.com

Partition Magic 6 will allow you to do it. The demo does not have this feature, you will need to purchase the whole program. It is about $20-$30. James Collins
