ok I have one principal partion with windows XP as Fat32 and another one in Ntfs I wish to convert my Ntfs one in a Fat32 one I tried partition magic 8 but when I try to open it it says partition table is bad what can I do???

Sorry, don't know. But why go to FAT32! NTFS is better, and you will face more drive problems with fat32. Do you want to read ntfs from win98? Try this program http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfswin98.shtml

You could: a)try using "chkdsk c: /F" from command prompt to fix disk errors where "c:" is the disk volume. b)you could move your files to the FAT32, reformat the NTFS(see below) to FAT32. That is, if you have enough remaining space to move files. Easy format to FAT32 Administrative Tools-> Computer Management-> Storage-> Disk Management and right click the partition you wish to format and choose format(choose FAT32). This will format and erase all data on that partition. I don't think there is a tool that will convert NTFS to FAT32 with data on it(preserve data). Did you need to preserve data? If so copy over, then format. Else, just format using XP Disk Management.

Darkfriend is right there is no way to convert NTFS to fat32. that is what microsoft considers a downgrade of file systems. The only way to convert it is to wipe out the partition and recreate then reformat

PM latest version is 'supposed to allow ntfs to fat32 conversions...; similary System Commander is supposed to allow it (and was ahead of PM in this regard)??? If your PM won't allow it the maybe checkout SC? Otherwise darkfriend's suggestion is a viable way to go?
