HI, I tried changing an existing dos partition into a ext2 one using mkfs.ext2 and mk2efs. # mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda7 But the partition type is still FAT 32 when I use fdisk(in Linux). I am not able to mount it as a FAT partition though. If I delete the partition then my partition numbers get changed i.e. If I am delete /dev/hda7 -- FAT 32 (mentioned above) then the following happens /dev/hda8 -----> /dev/hda9 (Linux swap) /dev/hda9 -----> /dev/hda8 (ext2)
The /dev/hda9 partition houses LInux. If the partition number changes then I may need to run LILO again. But is there no other way out to convert the existing FAT partition to an ext2 partition. -- Natarajan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
