SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows 98, the Maintenance Wizard tool may prompt you to
run the FAT32 Converter tool even though you previously chose to not
convert to the FAT32 file system.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems
that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you
edit it.
To resolve this behavior, use either of the following methods:
Method 1
Click Start, click Run, type "c:\windows\tuneup.exe /r" (without
quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click No when you are prompted
to convert to FAT32.
Method 2
Use Registry Editor to delete the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Welcome\
TuneUp
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
