PartitionMagic claims it can perform the conversion in both directions
without destroying the data. It's been a while since I've upgraded but,
judging from several versions ago, if they say they can do it, they
probably can.

BTW, the makers of PM also claim they can manipulate (ie: create, resize,
etc) EXT2/3 partitions as well. Ahhh... If only they'd port the thing to a
real O/S instead of releasing it only on Windoze.
