Partition Magic will convert from fat16 to fat32 or vice-versa. It does
it with a gui and is quite easy and in my experience safe. I have
converted a partition to fat32 and then back to fat16 at a later date
with no problems.

One responder asked why would you not want to leave it fat32. My
experience is that lilo will not work on the mbr of a fat32 drive, and
also a fat32 drive is slower than the same drive with fat16. But that
doesn't really matter to me anymore - now _all_ my partitions are ext2
<g>.
