now tell me what i do
or tell me if i format my e: drive can i get back my data on e: by any software

You do not want to format e: or you will wipe out 98. Just ignore the message and select the 2gig c: [first partition] for install.

NT does not understand fat32 which is why you get the message.

Only in your dreams Einstein can NT be installed on fat32. It takes 3rd party software for NT to even read a fat32 partition.

Just the fact folks. Just the facts.
