I want to convert a drive to FAT32. Are there any things to be aware of or potential problems if I do? My hard drive is partitioned into C, D and E. Do I need to convert all three partitions?

gary, I have carried out the conversion from Fat to Fat32 a number of times without problem, so don't envisage any. It is well worth it in terms of efficiency of use of storage space. I suggest you do all 3 drives.

I agree. Make the switch. I have done it numerous times, also, and have never had a problem. It's definitely the thing to do.
