Guest winnezele Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi, I am a newbie to Linux. I made a new partition next to my Windows XP and Mandrake partition. The idea of the fat32 partition was to have acces to files on this partion both from XP and Mandrake. What should I do to be able to write to this f32 part? greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 You should be able to write to it automatically. If you can, post your /etc/fstab here. When you're in Linux, open a terminal and type cat /etc/fstab and post the result here. That should help us determine what we need to do.

Are you sure you made the fat32 partition? Or did you make it ntfs? If you have Partition Magic 7 or 8, you can convert the partition to fat32; but you will have to change your fstab entry.
