1) Partition Commander allows converting NTFS back to FAT32. If Gnome Partition 
Editor 
can do it, so much the better because it's free. When I checked last time a few 
months back 
Partition Magic didn't offer this feature.

2) I have several NTFS logical drives and one FAT32 logical drive visible in 
WinXP. That 
FAT32 drive becomes drive D when I boot to FreeDOS and most DOS os files are 
there. 
The only files on DOS drive C are:

Kernel.sys
Command.com
Config.sys
Autoexec.bat

I didn't want to put Command.com and Autoexec.bat on drive D to avoid any 
possible 
conflicts with WinXP. Some conflicts are there anyway. I have just opened in 
WinXP "dos" 
console with Edit command one of the batch files originally created in DOS on 
that Fat32 
drive, and to my surprise it had FreeDOS and not XP interface.
