linux partition format


Recommended Posts

you didn't even wait 20 minuets for a reply before you replied to your own thread. For shame.

You're also not really telling us much of what you are trying to do. By the looks of it you have some sort of partitioning program open. Yes, those Linux partitions are really linus partitions. You can't read into a linux partition from windows. You can read only from an NTFS patition for Linux (well, write is still experimental i beleive). You can read/write from a fat32 from Linux.

What else are you wanting to know?

[Edit]

If you were wondering how to setup a dual boot system checkout:

For a 80 gig hard disk

[ 10  - FAT32 ][ 10  - NTFS  ]

[ 10  - ext2  ]

[( 10 - ext2 )( .256 - swap )( 39.7 - FAT32 )]

The FAT32 is to share data between Linux and windows, the NTFS is to install 2000/XP, and the other partitions are for linux.
