Hello everyone, OK, this is not stricty a linux question, but... I am preparing to install Mandrake Linux on a Dell Pentium 4 with 256 megs of ram that is currently running a clean install of Win XP using the NTFS filesystem. I used Partition Magic to shrink the XP partition. I also used PM to create a partition to use as a transfer area to move files between XP and linux. When I created this partion, I specified the filesystem as FAT32. However, when I look at the partition in Windows Explorer, it lists the filesystem as RAW. Anyone have any idea what this is? SHould I delete this partition and let diskdrake create a FAT32 partition for me? I created about 15 gigs for my linux install. Thanks in advance, Eric Gilliland _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
