    The only way I can think of doing this off the top of my head is by running partition magic 4.0...it lets you change from fat to fatXX with just a click of a button--it'll even tell you how much space you're wasting...that's all I know off the top of my head...

    Thanks.. however, I had a bad experience with Partition Magic.. my computer won't boot up (blue screen error) after partitioning the drive.

    Partition Magic v4 will convert FAT32 to FAT16 BUT...
    1. Make sure that the partition to be converted is no more than 2Gb - FAT16 limitation!!!
    2. Make sure you have plenty of free space on the drive - probably about 50% free - or Partition Magic will corrupt the fat and you won't be able to access the disk.
