Windows 98 Disk and File Management

Backup Before FAT32

SUMMARY: Before converting your Windows 98 file system to FAT32, back it up!


 

Although the FAT32 converter has been reported to work reasonably well, do you really wish to trust your files to chance? If you decide to run the FAT32 converter, it is recommended to first backup all of the data on the drives which you wish to convert. If you convert your Windows drive, you will have to do this because running the FAT32 converter on the Windows drive forces a Win98 reinstall.
