Well, if you boot up to a ntfs file system, you cannot see anything that's formatted to fat32. That's just the way it is.

Wrong! You can access a FAT32 partition when you're running NTFS.
DOS and Windows 95/98/98se/ME cannot see NTFS.
Softmicro, go to the Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Computer Management --> Disk Management. Then Right-Click on the drive and format it.
