I have a disk with 4 partitions. C:\-FAT16 D:\-FAT32 E:\ & F:\ - NTFS C:\ is the boot partition for all operating systems.(dual boot) The size of C:\ is limmited to 2GB.(Fat16) My question is :Can i changed C:\ to Fat32 and resize C:\ to size more than 2GB and to make oher operating system to work.(because C:\ is the boot partition). Very thanks:SONYS

If you use PM to change and resize partition you may have trouble booting from it afterwards.
PS. Why do you need to? Usually, if C: drive is used in this way, its kept to minimal size (eg, 100MB max) to perform booting functions, and partitions actually used by operating systems use the space. Is ME actually installed on C: or is it on D:? (it would obviously be better on D: for the scenario I described).
