I have read in various books that you can't use fat 32 with windows 200 becasue it can't read it, and i have read that win 2000 can read fat 32. I was wondering if Win 2000 can read Fat 32 or only fat 16 and NTFS

win2k can read fat32.
you can install win2k on a fat partition. You can format disks to fat32 under win2k.
Please, do some basic research, use Google for gods sake.

If you are going to dual boot Win98 and Win2k make sure you install Win98 first. If you install Win98 after Win2k is installed the boot loader gets screwed up and you will have problems using Win2k.

If you install Win2k after Win98 it creates a nice boot menu for you.

Windows98 can't read NTFS (Windows2000), which is where your confusion may have come from.
