If you are planning to share this partition with windows and Linux then use fat32. If this partition is to be used exclusively in Linux then use ext3. The thing is, from windows, you can write to fat32 but you cannot write to ext3. fat32 : Can be read and written under Linux and windows. ext3 : Can be read in Linux and Windows. Cab be written in Linux. Cannot be written from windows. hth raju -- http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/cornell-bazaar http://groups.google.com/group/cornell-bazaar/about -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
