Even if it was possible, which it isnt, why would you want to convert back, to FAT32 anyway? XP runs much better on an NTFS enabled drive anyway. Plus NTFS is faster and it doesnt need defragmenting as often as FAT32.

The file system has nothing to do with windows update and legal or illegal copy's of windows.
Unless you mean that you want to ditch xp and go back to an older version of windows?
