    XP back to 98

    XP is slow as hell on my computer, so i decided to go back to 98SE(if i can) and i need to know how to convert my HDD from NTFS back to FAT32 if its possible. I would go to 2K but i dont have $140 right now.

        OK, how do you make a DOS boot disk in XP. and also will fdisk, and format.exe work to convert NTFS to FAT32?

          Not sure on the boot disk & yes, fdisk & format will do the trick.

                Well if you can get to a Win9x computer make a boot dick form that, because i don;t think you can make one in XP. And you can boot into dos, that is why you have the dos boot dick. You do not need to actually have dos on your computer.

                On another note, I think that Win2k runs better, its just not as user friendly. If you are good with computers 2k works great. No funny colors in 2k like there is in XP also. And on a even better note, NO ACTIVATION in 2k. You can install it on as many computers as you want (illegally though, but whos gunna stop ya?)
