Does it allow an NT install to an existing FAT32 primary partition? I've got a box set up at home with Win98 on it now that I'd like to switch to NT Workstation without having toreformat and selectively restore from tape (I know the registry stuff won't convert, so I'd be faced with reinstalling the apps and redoing all my settings (or exporting and reimporting some registry values at least.) In NT terms, can both the system and boot partition be FAT32?
