I don't think you can go back in 2000 either, but I've never heard that for
sure. The process described in the following article probably still applies:

What's the full command if I want to convert my boot partition from FAT to
NTFS?

Once I do this, will Win 2000 let me go back??  I know NT 4 didn't.

It is actually as simple as you have been lead to believe.

Not on 2000. There were a few good arguments for FAT partitions in NT but
those have all been negated with 2000 since you can boot to a 2000 drive in
console mode when you no longer have a working system and since 2000 doesn't
need to be partitioned to be installed on larger drives.

NTFS has quite a few advantages, not the least of which are permissions and
better use of larger (2 Gig+) drivers.
