| 16630 | 2001-08-07 07:07:00 | I have a laptop drive with a regular fat32 partition and an NT partition. Fdisk doesn't 'see' the NT partition so ...?? |

| 16632 | 2001-08-07 09:59:00 | I,m not an NT expert,but I believe NT has a conversion utiliy to convert a NTFS partion to fat 16 and visa-versa.An NTFS partition is just a modifyed fat16 patition anyway,the other way to do it is to do a low level format on the NTFS partion and then change it to fat16 or 32. good luck |
