Use xcopy.exe to copy the whole partition to some
target disk while the source disk runs as a slave disk
in some other WinXP/2000 PC, then reverse the
process and mark the target partition as active.

Here's the deal:
Though I only know of non-freeware such as partition magic...
it's always advised to make a backup first as utilites (even the best) can
fail.
So I figure if you have a backup...you don't really need a utility at all...
just delete the partition and recreate as Fat32.
Thne resore from backup
Of course with winXP you can only create a Fat32 partition of 32 gigs

WHY change to FAT32? It only supports 32 gigs and NTFS is a lot better.

Yes, it's hard to find a good reason to use FAT32 anymore. If the OP wants
to read an NTFS partition from Win98 he could try using this instead:

Wrong!
FAT 32 can be up to 8TB, see:-

The 32 GB limit is a limitation of the XP disk management software.

It's still a pile of shit though.

That's not true. FAT32 partitions can be large. It's just that with
XP's native tools you're limited to creating a max of 32GB but there are
other ways to make larger FAT32 partitions that XP can use.

Not free, but a 30 day full feature trial download that I am sure if used
will be seriously considered as an essential utility priced well below it's
value.
