Can you convert FAT 32 files to NFTS using Win98 SE?

No.

You need Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows 2003.

And it's NTFS. NT File System.

That's "NTFS," not "NFTS." And there's no such thing as "FAT32
files." They are files on a FAT32 *drive* (or partition).

No you can't convert a FAT32 drive to NTFS using Windows 98. And
if you converted the drive elsewhere, you couldn't read them on a
Windows 98 system. Windows 98 has no support for NTFS.

Unless the OP is talking about using files she created in some program
on the Win98 machine on the XP box. A lot of users confuse converting a
drive with being able to read the files created in Word, for example.
Lavert, if you need more help with this please post back with exactly
what you are trying to do.

Yes, I didn't think of that, and it's possible that the OP meant
something like that. I agree that clarification would be helpful.

Just because the drive on your 98 machine is formatted FAT32 and the XP
machine may be formatted NTFS, it doesn't mean that you can't transfer files
between the two machines.

Ken:

Thanks for your reply. I want to get an I/O Magic 40GB USB micro drive for
backup. Was wondering if I could back up HD A (Win98SE) and HD B (Win XP
Home Edition) to the mentioned micro drive? Thanks in advance.

Sure. You can partition the drive with two partitions, one NTFS
and the other FAT32.

no...Win98 doesn't use NTFS.

Correct...you can still copy files to cd or zip or floppy or usb drive and
copy them over to the other system; the removeable storeage devices aren't
limited by NTFS/FAT32 - they use a different file system.

NTFS/FAT32 is only a Hard disk file system format.

The File system for 3½" floppies is FAT12.

Generally true, but let me make a minor addition, if I may:

Any disk under 16MB, whether a floppy (of any size) or a hard
drive, will be formatted as FAT12. So all standard floppies,
whether 3½" or 5¼", are FAT12.

But, although they aren't common these days, the LS120 and LS240
floppies (also called "superdisks") hold 120MB and 240MB
respectively, and they use FAT16, not FAT12.
