At the moment I have NFTS File System on my computer with Windows 2000 installed. However, I want to run Windows ME also, which means I will have to Partition part of the drive to FAT32. IS this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Thanks!

yea it's possible, make some room for the new Fat32 partition, then using a utility like Partition Magic 5, or anything else that can make a formated FAt32 partition out of unallocated space. Typically you need to install Win9x/ME before Win2k, but I think there are ways to install afterwards, also it's NTFS not NFTS , NTFS = NT File System, as in FAT32 = File Allocation Table (32 allowing 32bit clustering).
