Neemoe Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi all, I convered my xp from fat32 to NTFS file system. My problem is Mandy 9.2 still thinks the xp drive is fat 32. How do I get Mandy to see xp as NTFS? Thanks Neemoe Split into a new topic by Ixthusdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 You'll want to look at your /etc/fstab file, and edit the appropriate partition to ntfs. That is how linux knows! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogic-al Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 for example /dev/hdb4 /mnt/win_d vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 to /dev/hdb4 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 also be aware that you will no longer be able to write to the driver from Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a13x Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Good question. I know the bastards at M$ are constantly "improving" NTFS but when will we get full support for it ? Or maybe it already exists ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeyKlitske Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 hahaha i just moved some partitions i had running on ntfs back to fat32 and had lots of trouble setting the /etc/fstab file right cuz winsuks managed to squeze the new partition i created in between the windows partitions and the linux parttitions ie messing up the partition table numbering /etc/fstab is using.
