I've got a small problem.  I haven't completely given up on Windows (unfortunately) 
because I can't find a total video editing/dvd burning solution for Linux.  Anyway, I 
have a partition that I've formatted as fat32.  It's about 52 GB.  However, I couldn't 
access the partition in Linux, except as root.  No matter what I did.  So...in my 
wisdom, I thought that if I got it below 32 GB, it would act normally.  I resized it 
and everything was fine.  I tried to format and mount the remaining 20 GB, but no go.  
Wouldn't mount. So I resized the 32 GB partition back to 52 GB.  It mounts, but shows 
up as 32 GB.  Also, I tried to give it a different mount point in there somewhere.  
Diskdrake says 52, everything else 32.  Plus, I now have another partition that is 20 
GB that doesn't even exist, but shows up in xffm, konqueror, whatever.  The good news 
is that after all this jacking around, I was able to set the permissions on the 32/52 
partition so that I can access it in Linux.  

To summarize, I have two 32 GB partitions, a 20 GB partition, all in a 52 GB partition.

Help! Where is the configuration info kept?  (I checked and made sure fstab was 
correct)  Do I need to wipe the entire hard drive and start over?
