How do I reformat or create a partition from FAT32 to FAT8/16 on my SD card?

Try using the FORMAT command. The Syntax may vary depending on your version of Windows.\n\nIt should be: FORMAT X: /FS:FAT\n\nWhere X: is the drive letter assigned to your card.

if you have XP cd then boot with that and it will give you the option to delete the ntsf file system on it and convert it to fat32 make sure you chose your new hardrive and not the one with all your data on it other wise it will be all lost other ways you can do it is by using a 98 boot disk then type fdisk at the command prompt and then go and delete the none dos partitions on it the place the fat32 partition onto it hope that can hel just search in google to find how to use fdisk

Nope.  FAT32 can be made into NTFS (on Windows XP) but NTFS cannot be reverted back to FAT32.

when you go to install your operating system (probably Win XP) you will get an option to delete your current partition.  Do that.  Then create another one as big as you can and do a full format on that partition. This will make a lot more sense to you once you start doing it.  Don't do a quick format, it is quicker but you are doing it on a drive that was already in use.  Do this and it will be like new again.  Afterwards, make sure you use those disks to install all the drivers again.  You can even look for those updated drivers online afterwards for better compatability and performance.

Depends on which Nix you are using. Most have good support for mounting Fat 16 and 32 partitions. Linux has good support for NTFS partitions at least read only. Some distros you have to recompile the kernel as NTFS support doesn't come compiled by default. \n\nEmail me with the details and I'd be glad to point you to the right place to mount it if your trying to do NTFS. If it's fat just man mount and you have the syntax.

Yes, update to SP2 and convert your FAT file system to NTFS...it's much better filing system for your OS..\nWhy? Because you installed the OS using NTFS, and the other I would imagine is either another partition, or it's a Slave Drive...You can always reformat it and convert it to NTFS...Always use NTFS for XP operating systems...

FDISK.EXE, it will let you create additional partitions.  Try start/run/fdisk.exe and click OK

If you are using windows XP there is an NTFS converter that you can use "convert.exe" and the instructions can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/convertfat.mspx  exercise caution though because it is much better to partition the disks to ntfs and then reinstall, sometimes converted disks may lose some data.

You need a converter.\n\nThere are freeware and retail. You have to check online for the files you wish t o convert,

YOU CANNOT CONVERT "NTFS" PARTITION TO "FAT32" using Convert command.\n\n You can convert FAT partition To Either NTFS or FAT32 But not Vice-Versa. and also conversion from Fat32 to NTFS or Vice-versa is  impossible. \n\nThe best solution to your problem is to make an image of your current partition (which is NTFS and u wat to convert to FAT32) with HDD image (backup) software like Norton Ghost or Nero BackItUp (u can use other's even) .Once you have taken the image (backup) of your partition on DVDs/CDs; Format that partition by making it as FAT32 File System. Now restore the image that you had taken on the formatted partition and All software that you required will be restored in the same condition as you had backed it up. You don't need to install any OS or application.. It will look like the same OS and Application suite , as u had before taking image.

The simplest way is to use Partition Magic.  In that case you won't need to format the existing hard drive.  Since you already have Windows XP on the primary partition, it will already be formatted in NTFS.  That will save you an additional step.  I would recommend you to back up all your data initially.  The Partition Magic software lets you partition an existing hard drive with data on it.\n\nNow create a new partition from the existing one and format in the FAT32 format required by Windows 98.  Now you will have a FAT32 partition with no OS and the NTFS partition with XP as the primary OS.\n\nPop in the Windows 98 installation CD and restart the system (make appropriate changes in the BIOS to make the system boot from the Windows 98 CD).  When the installation menu comes, install Windows 98 as the OS on the FAT32 partition.\n\nThat should do the job.  If you are concerned about the efficacy of the partition Magic software follow the steps mentioned in the previous post.

The proper command is FDISK executed from DOS.\n\nBUT DON'T DO IT UNTIL YOU __FULLY__ UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!\n\nYou will lose EVERYTHING on the disk.\n\nBIOS is on a chip and will not be lost.\n\nThe details of reformatting are specific to the operating system (Windows version) that you are using, not the hardware (ThinkPad).\n\nSuggest you go to Microsoft Support for your operating system and read about reformatting a hard disk until you understand it.\n\nIt is too complicated and risky to give you adequate advice here.

Yes in newer versions of Windows, type the following at a command prompt:\n\nconvert c: /fs:ntfs\n\nJust make sure it's something you want to do.
