Phat FAT Problems

This is strange. ONLY on HP Vectra VL6 Series7 PCs our clients recently started having problems where the computer can't boot anymore and it's because somehow the primary partition went from FAT32 to FAT16 on it's own, with a secondary partition staying FAT32. In some cases the primary partition technically was 3gig FAT16. We've been able to correct the problems without data loss using PMagic, sometimes with Norton Disk Doctor. But I can't figure out what is causing this to happen. PCs were imaged using Ghost. Running Win95b with Norton AV 5 installed.

I'm thinking it's related to either Ghost or Norton or the combination, but can't find any info to verify this. Anyone run into a similar situation?

Thanks
