"Your so stupid

32 GB"

You're only partly right and can't spell.

32GB is the largest FAT32 partition Windows XP will create. However, Windows XP works fine with FAT32 partitions up to 2TB (2000 GB) The easy answer is to create the partition with Windows 98 or something like Parted Magic. Useful information for the large capacity portable hard drives available now. Formatting those to NTFS can be a permissions nightmare on multiple PCs and multiple accounts.

The tools included with Windows XP, including the installer, will not allow you to create a FAT32 partition over 32GB. If you use third-party tools to create the partition, you can create one up to 2 TB, limited by the addressing capability of the controller. Of course, such a large partition is impractical and probably unreliable.

Is it possible to convert a FAT16 partition to NTFS in Windows 98?

No, and neither would it be desirable. Windows 98 cannot boot off an NTFS partition, and if your system was using a FAT16 partition, it is probably not large enough to benefit from NTFS anyway.
