I'm having to reconfigure my computer from 2000 back to 98
but my file system is NTSF. How do I convert it back to
FAT?

You can not convert it back. You will have to format it which will erase
everything. If you need help with the process let us know more about you
configuration so we can give you specific instructions.

You will need a third party utility. PowerQuest Partition Magic, is one of
the best.

To wipe the drive, some ways include; boot a win98 startup disk, run fdisk
and delete all partition information found (as long as NTFS is primary). Or
boot the Windows 2000 CD-Rom or setup disks and when you get to the point,
delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions found, then abort the
install. Or use a utility named delpart. Once removed you can partition and
format the drive as you wish. Boot the Win98 CD-Rom or restore CD-Rom to
start your install.
