FAT32 to NTFS

I did a ghost image of my C-Drive as a FAT32 using Nortons Ghost.
I have since converted the C-Drive to NTFS.
Will this ghost image still work OK if I need to restore my operating system
(Windows XP Pro)?

Thanks
Kate

Yes, your image will restore the c drive how it was, at FAT32. You would
then have to convert it to NTFS again if you really want NTFS.

Good Luck.

When you restore the Ghost image you will be back to the original file
system, fat32. An image is an "exact" replication of the drive's condition,
and format, at the time the image was created.

I DONT SEE WHY NOT BECAUSE WHEN YOU RECOVER THE OS USING THE IMAGE IS
FORMATS THE PC ANY HOW.
