Is there a way I can do this without losing information on
my hard drive, besides backing it up? I don't seem to know
how to transfer the info on my hard drive to a cd, even
though I have a cd-rom write\rewriter. This is a new hard
drive that I just partitioned and put Win98SE on, without
the Fat 32. (I'm still learning)Help!
I don't really know how to use this newsgroup thing, if
anyone willing to help would just e-mail us, I'd
appreciate the advice.
Thanks,
V

Win98 does have the fat16 to fat32 conversion capability

but if you partitioned your drive as 2 gigs and want to increase the
partition
size you cannot do that non-destructively uless you use a 3rd party
utility such as partition magic
