Antivirus software and FAT32

Converting a disk to FAT32 changes its partition table and boot 
record. If you're using antivirus software, it may intercept any 
attempt to update either or both and ask whether it's okay. Be 
sure to answer Yes. When you reboot your system after converting 
the disk, the antivirus software may notice the change and offer 
to fix it for you. Do not let it. If the software restores the 
partition table, the boot record, or both, you won't be able to 
access your hard disk or any data on it.
