[CentOS] Sharing Partitions between Linux and Windows
Hi All I've just shifteed over to linux,form Windows.I 'm having 5 partations for use by my windows XP Professional and another one by linux.The partation table is as shown : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [root at localhost6 ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc2 1276 30400 233946562+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc5 1276 7649 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc6 7650 14023 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc7 14024 20397 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc8 20398 26771 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc9 26772 26784 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 26785 28059 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 28060 28124 522081 82 Linux swap / Solaris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I want to convert my NTFS partations /dev/hdc5 ,/dev/hdc6 ,/dev/hdc7 ,/dev/hdc8 over to FAT32,so that they can be accessible to me in both Windows and LINUX environments.I googled a lot for the same and found that in windows i'll have to delete all the partitions and recreate themin FAT32 format,but the limitation over here is that windows just allows a FAT32 partition to be at most of 32GB and i don't want to breakup my disk any more,can anyone please help me out with some way in the linux environment,to do the desired. Thanks to all,and please help me and LINUX grow. Thanks & Regards Saurabh Sharma ************************************************************************************************** In world without fences and walls,who needs Gates and Windows ? **************************************************************************************************
