NTFS --> FAT32

[ashrack]

Just got into a wonderfull world of linux. And to my dissapointment LINUX still doesn't support writting to NTFS volumes.
So now I would like a way to change my 20GB NTFS partition into a FAT32 without loosing data. As I understand ACRONIS doesn't support this feature.
What else could I do?

Hello ashrack,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Partition and Disk Managing Software (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/).

You can try the following workaround using Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0:

- Create Acronis Bootable Rescue Media using Tools->Bootable Media Builder option;
- Boot from that media;
- Create a new small FAT32 partition;
- Merge NTFS partition to that FAT32 partition.

Please also take a look at this thread (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=103428). It describes the procedure in more details.

If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you.
