Hi, I am also running windows 95's fat32 and linux on a single HDD, but I boot my Linux off of a diskette. The only difference between our install is that I used extended not dos on my linux partition when I first installed. Unless you have partition magic I doubt that could could format that way, FDISK does not provide it.

The only way I know to get Windows to use the 32bit FAT again is to re-build the filesystem and re-install!. The Win95 and the Linux root/swap partitions are on separate drives. I am not mounting the Window partition from linux. I boot using a DOS floppy with LOADLIN and the installation kernel(2.0.29?) on it. HELP! Cheers, Ben.
