Hello,

Drive Converter converts your drive to the FAT32 file system, an enhancement of the File Allocation Table (FAT or FAT16) file system format. When your drive is in this format, it stores data more efficiently, creating up to several hundred MB of extra disk space on the drive. In addition, programs load faster and your computer uses fewer system resources.

You can also start Drive Converter by
1.Click Start->Accessories->System Tools-2.Click Drive Converter.

Regards
Sherlock,

Hi
You could also try using Partition Magic v.4.0 or 5.0 to convert from Fat 16 to Fat 32

If you are getting a larger Hard drive you can Ghost your current hard drive to the new one by:
1. Fdisk and partition the new hard drive large disk support.
2. ghost the old disk to the new disk using the -f32 switch. i.e ghost.exe -f32
