I want to divide the hard drive to two partitions<br>now i have one partition c,and i want to convert the new<br>partition that i will have to &quot;ntfs&quot; so i can install &quot;nt&quot;<br>&nbsp;on it
 
Drive C cannot be FAT32 if you plan on installing NT. The primary boot partition must be FAT16 or NTFS.<br><br>As far as converting the new drive to NTFS, you can let the install of NT do this for you.<br><br>Unless you are using a boot manager, i.e. - BootMagic or SystemCommander to hide the Win9x primary partition. Then you could create another primary partition just for NT.<br> <p>Doug<br><a href=mailto:dxd_2000@yahoo.com>dxd_2000@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
