A question on formating drive

Folks,

How to format the drive on WinXP as msdos FS?

I have 2 HDs mounted on mobile rack running WinME and WinXP respective. Both of them have 2 partitions, drive-C and drive-D. Drive-D is for storage. Now WinME fails to start anymore leaving WinXP working. I tried to copy the data files from WinME driv-D to WinXP drive-D by connecting WinME HD as slave. ALL data files on WinME can be copied to WinXP but their file extension/format changed after finish. I suppose the FS on WinME drive-D is on msdos/FAT16 and WinXP drvie-D on FAT32 which created this problem.

Please advise how to format WinXP drive-D as msdos or FAT16. OR is there any other solution. TIA

B.R.
