Hi,
    does anyone know of a conversion utility that I can get to convert my
win 98 fat32 drive to fat so I can use system commander for an install of
Linux???  NOTE: I tryed an install already and it would not boot from lilo
on the floppy.   The fat/system is a bit screwed some how 'cause Partition
Magic 4 is just giving me  a "Table Error".  The O/S's are working fine
so?????
I have win98 and win2000 but I want to install Linux so I can get used to a
posix system commands.


thanks,


Fred
