I don't know "Partition Magic", but there is a utility called "Partition Resizer" which explicitly claims to do this. According to the documentation, it will even redo a 16-bit FAT as a 12-bit FAT, and vice versa. >From the fairly detailed documentation, the programmer appears to know his stuff. And it _may_ be a better FIPS. I haven't actually used it, though. For what it's worth, look for 'msdos/diskutil/presz112.zip' on Simtel.Net. It's freeware, but source is not included. -- Robert Nordier
