Answer 1

You can't convert from NTFS to FAT/32. You'll have to reformat the drive. NTFS is a better and more secure file structure than FAT. Why would you want to change it back?

Answer 2

If viewing the partition from within Windows, then you
have the option to format in either FAT32 or NTFS.
But it's a bit boring restriced to just two disk formats huh? ;o)

However, should you be trying to do this from a
version of 'DOS', then any NTFS partition(s) won't
normally be visible.

Try the link below, this may be what you are looking
for.

Answer 3

The only way to format from NTFS back into FAT/FAT32 is to use FDisk and Format from a Windows 98(ish) boot disk.
