You can convert to ntfs over your existing win2000.Type this command in cmd.
CONVERT {drive letter}: /FS:NTFS
Only thing is if you boot into win 98 you wont see any of your 2000 folders as 98 doesnt recognise ntfs

ya and perhaps a couple of the software you have installed on the win2K of FAT file system might not work anymore once you convert to NTFS, but you can just re-install them and things will be fine.

As always we try to excercise caution, so make a backup of your main win2k drive if at all possible (like a ghost image or something). All in all you should be ok, but you know how it is... everyone's PC is different, but at least it's not a mac lol

i thought you could also change to ntfs using the disk manager in the administarator tools - or am i confusing this with xp ?
