TheMysterio,
I can confirm that Partition Magic will allow you to convert from NTFS to FAT32. However, I have twice run into a snag while making this change. It comes from Windows 2000/XP file compression. If compression is present, Partition Magic aborts with a cryptic message about the data being "sparse". Anyway, there is a command line utility in Windows (compact) that allows you to uncompress the data. After doing that, Partition Magic works fine. Of course, you will lose the file/folder security attributes that NTFS provides during the conversion. One other possible problem is FAT32 doesn't support file sizes greated than 4GB. If you have any files larger than that you will likely screw them up.
Hope this helps.
