| I am planning on installing a server this weekend to get a little more practice for these exams. In the past when I worked with NT i had a small NTFS problem. I formatted my drive to ntfs and ran somethings for a while, I was unable to reformat the drive. If I format to NTFS will I be able to reformat back to FAT or FAT32 without any problems? | |

| If you are talking about installing server on a test box and then later re-formatting and installing something like Win98 on a FAT32 partition, then I do not see why you would have any problems with it. We do it all the time in the labs here at work. We are using IDE drives ranging from 4 to 20 Gig with no ploblems. | |

| Thanks alot, thats all I needed to know. I did this over 2 years ago and the drive itself was probably bad to begin with, but I have not tried it since in fear that I would toast the drive again. Its an 8 gig drive that I cant buy anymore, so I didnt want to loose it if I couldnt do it... | |

Just Remeber To Convert you drive
Back to fat32 , In win98
You would run fdisk delete the
Non dos partion and make new dos partion
then format it as fat or fat32 .
Win9x can only see ntfs , across the network. Or with special third party drivers.
