When trying to convert a Window 98 drive to FAT32, the
system displays the subject error message. Is there
anyway around this? Is the 2002 Version of Norton
AntiVirus really incompatible with Windows 98 FAT32?

Thanks,
Andy

Yes, you will have to use a partitioning program to do it. I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from:
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ and it does partitioning, makes a
compressed image, does many other partitioning chores and is a boot
manager. It is not quite as easy to use as Partition Magic but it is
less than half the cost and has more features. Unlike the crippled
PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for free for 30
days. The web site has a lot of support articles.

I don't think Norton is compatible with anything; however, that is a
biased view because I have no use for their products.

turn it off and give it a try
you certainly don't need to run your virus checker while doing a drive
conversion
