When I installed Win98SE on, I believe, an 800 Mb partition, the partition was
type 06, FAT16. I'd like to convert the partition to FAT32 using the system tools
feature of Windows. Will this destroy the current installation of Win98SE and
cause me to reinstall Win?

If I run PTEDIT.EXE, I see that there is a FAT32 and a FAT32X. Will one or the
other work better with Hank Kelder's FAT32 viewer in OS/2? If so, can this be
done after Win98SE is reinstalled, or after the conversion if a reinstall is not
necessary?
