Judging from your question, you know about partitioning, have installed Linux before, and now want to make one of your ex-Linux partitions usable by Windows. Using you favourite partitioning tool (mine is fdisk, but I'm old-school) set the partition type to DOS FAT. Then format the partition (I forget how to make a FAT filesystem under Linux, sorry). When you boot into windows you'll have a nice clean D: (or E:, F:, etc). Tim Wright Assistant Lecturer Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~tnw13
