I don't see what is your problem. You can have multiple partitions in your HD. Some in fat and the others in ntfs. You can also migrate the fat partitions to ntfs, but the reverse.

yes it is right for "new" NT systems - win2k and winXP. you can install both this system on ntfs partition or on fat32 one.
but if you have windows NT 4.0 - you have to install it on ntfs only, and winNT4 cann't see fat32 partitions.
you can find some utils in the web for winNT4 to see fat32.
if it is a case, and you cann't find these utilities, it is possible to help you.
best regards.

FAT32 is a FAT32 file system driver for Windows NT 4.0. Once installed, any FAT32 drives present on your system will be fully accessible as native Windows NT volumes.
Recommended FAT32 Configuration
Do not convert your first partition, or your NT boot partition (the one with \winnt on it), to FAT32 as there is no support in Windows NT 4.0 for reading FAT32 drives during the boot sequence.

FAT32 for Windows NT v4.0
We've released FAT32 for Windows NT 4.0 read/write as freeware!!!!
solution providied by 'dainis', fat32 works fine
yes, i can confirm that with winNT4, but:
if this fat32 section contains a lot of files, you might run into trouble. i'm not sure if this is a simple 'not enough pointers' problem or more. As i said it works fine, but sometimes it cannot open (enough) files in the fat32 section
