Is it possible to go back to FAT32 if a hard drive has been previously
formatted using NTFS.

Thanks!

Delete the partition, format the partition.

Sure, as long as there's nothing on it you want to save.

Just reformat as FAT32.

You have three options:
- Repartition, as suggested by others
- Copy the lot to some other drive or disk, then repartition
and copy back again
- Use PQMagic to convert back to FAT32 (after backing up
your data!)

Only by formatting the hard drive, is you're using only Win2K's
built-in tools.
