| 149884 | 2003-06-05 01:02:00 | Hi guys... Alot of you mention that if converting file system from NTFS to FAT32 which u need to use Partition Magic.... However, if I start from scatch again (like Re-install Windows XP again under NTFS system), when the menu comes, it said format with NTFS or FAT32, can I use that section and format back to FAT32?? or is it no way that I can go back with FAT32 unless I have partition magic... And also during the setup, Windows XP setup allow you to reallocate for partition setting, if i converting back to FAT32, do I have to re-do the partition stuff or I can just leave it as it is and reformat the HDD Thanks again Jacky |

PM is needed if you want to retain data (or try to) when changing partition/format of the HDD. If wiping the data is acceptable, as in a complete installlation of XP from scratch, then reformat and go for it. |
