Your only option is a full backup and restore of the file system; with a 
reformat step in the middle.
You could allways run Linux on the Mac but i'm sure that's not the solution 
you're after.

Note that fat32 has a 2gb filesize limit; this has bitten many people trying 
to image a dvd with Nero.

Whilst you can convert fat32 to ntfs, Microsoft wrote both file systems so 
they know how to do that. Reiserfs uses complex tree structures that cover 
the whole disk surface so an in place convertion would be complex to say the 
least.

Subject: Need help converting ReiserFs to HFS or Fat32


Does anyone know a way to convert from ReiserFS to Fat32 or HFS? I'm
in the process of migrating data from harddrives that are in ReiserFS
format and I'm wanting to get it to a mac or Windows readible format.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions how I can do this?


Thanks in advance,

jerry
