Discussion:
FAT to FAT32

I've set up a dual boot system with WIN 98SE on a FAT partition and WIN XP on
a NTFS partition. If I convert the FAT partition to FAT32 will I create
problems running DOS programs on this partition? At this time I can run these
programs under Windows 98 without a problem. I don't know if this change is
worth any risk or possible problems.

Thanks,
Rick J.

No change for DOS programs by converting to fat 32 unless a program is some
sort of old disk utility that doesn't know what fat 32 is.
