Sorry, I should make myself clearer.. I have a Ext2 drive already formatted, and containing an existing /home directory. When installing Mandrake, diskdrake detected this drive as VFAT. If I asked DiskDrake to recognise the drive as ext2, then it asks to reformat the drive. Is there a graphical way for me to remount that drive or change the type so that I can install the system while keeping the /home drive intact and mounted for the installation? It's helpful to have /var and /home on different drives, especially during a re-install Thanks, Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 24, 2000 4:22 AM Subject: Re: [Cooker] Thoughts and Wishes for Mandrake 7.x > *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* > "Craig Foster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > 2) DiskDrake doesn't allow you to change the detected type without a > > reformat - eg I have an ext2fs SCSI (sdd1) drive and DiskDrake detects it as > > VFAT32.
