You can convert to NTFS file system from FAT32 without loosing any data...BUT, to convert back to FAT32 you have to reformat the hard drive & you will loose all the data on the hard drive...
You do this using your XP installation disk...Bootup from it like you were going to install XP for the first time, then format the hard drive using FAT32.

there's some software that converts your hard drive from ntfs to fat32 & vice versa, without loosing any information , & without wasting time on formatting & installing new OS and programs. honestly I don't know names & i will not search them for you, try to figure them out yourself, it's very easy yahoo! or google these keywords: software convert ntfs fat-32. good luck!

I don't think you can without re-installing Windows.
Try bumping your RAM to 512MB, that should speed everything up. You are way below the minimum required.

I'm not sure, but i think you can do that only while you format your drive.
