Just us FAT32 instead of NTFS.Also, Why the repartition? Just reformat the old FAT32 partition and install over that. > Also, I'll have to recreate my Linux partitions after the upgrade. Does anyone Oll you should need is a boot floppy to get back into linux and fix the MBR (rerun lilo?) after the Windows install. Don't try to write to and NTFS partition from linux. You probably don't want to mount the Win2k version of NTFS in linux either. At one point that could damage the filesystem too. -Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
