Good day. Would there be any problems or damage to my hard drive if i keep converting it between NTFS and FAT32 or creating disk partitions all the time? Thanks

I'm not sure why you'd want to since fat 32 is seriously limited as far as partion size I would say if you have a need to have fat 32 I'd get a program like partition magic and set up a partition on the drive.or have a second drive because eventually you'll lock the drive up.

Maybe no problem. But it's good idea to have a separate NTFS and FAT32 drives.
Damage? I hope you're not converting it all the times! If you're always doing that then it's better to have a separate hard disk for NTFS and FAT32.

I don't think so but why would you keep changing between NTFS and FAT32? Can't you just stick with one?

I would say no.
But keep in mind that Hard drives are not a permanent media. It will die one day. So make sure you backup your important material else where.
