My main PC has windows 98,2000 and XP on it, and uses the microsoft boot manager to boot into one or the other. Now, my C Drive containing Win 98 is in FAT format. Can I convert it to FAT32?

I thought I remember reading somewhere that you could'nt mutiboot if you main boot drive was FAT32.

Should be OK, as 2000 and XP can both see FAT32.

Perhaps you were thinking about NT4? That can't see FAT32.

Neil,
Not a problem with that. Remember to back up anything important first. XP, Win2K both read fat32.
