Greetings All,

I have a Win98 machine that I'm trying to convert the drives from FAT16 to FAT32.

My problem is that Drive Converter is not installed in the desktop.

I have my WIN98 CD and I tried running the Add/Remove Programs from the CD, but I do not have the option to add and install Drive Converter.

Is there a way to install Drive Converter from the Win98 CD without me having to reinstall Win98?

Thanks!

To import Drive Converter from the Win98 CD, as opposed to your 'pushing' it from the CD?

Due to your mentioning [i]"..trying to convert the [u][b]drives[/u][/b] from FAT16 to FAT32."[/i] - I would remind you that using multiple partitions on drives formatted with FAT32 will not give you any more free disk space, since all drives smaller than 8GB use 4KB clusters. ;)
