So I just delete partion right and format with winxp cd and then run norton ghost 2003 and it goes right back to normal but ntfs instead of fat32?
Hold it, not really that easy.

Remember Ghost makes images, the file system is part of that image. If you ghost the partition you want to convert you must use ghostexplorer to get the files back. Then you use the OS to write the files back from the image and the partition will remain whatever format you turned it into.

The same result of course if you backup your files by copying them to another partition during the whole process. Then after formatting copy them back using Explorer as always.
