I have a hard drive which was previously used for Windows that I'd like to convert over to ext2. But when dealing with mkfs and fdisk, I'm getting a couple of contradictions. When I first ran fdisk it reported there was one partition and a fat32 file system on the disk, which at the time was true. The disk originally had two partitions on it before this check. /etc/fstab reports the disk still has two partitions. is fstab a static file or is it dynamically created based on how my computer is currently set up? Do I need to alter it? I then ran "mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1" and it proceeded to format the drive, which appeared to go ok. But going back to fdisk, it still reports the disk is fat32. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to use this disk until I'm sure it's alright. Thanks, Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
