It just fill a record with an ID, wich is meant to indicate what type of formatting will be on it. You can format a FAT32 filesystem on a Linux Type partition. But I think some OS will not see it, because they would look only at the type they know in the partition table, without searchink to know what really is on each partition. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It should be... but I have found nothing but excerpts: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-Partitioning-EN-Partitions-attributes In particular, if I want to have a windows XP type of filesystem, do I go with 07 HPFS/NTFS or 86 NTFS volume set or 87 NTFS volume set? 07, as per the above link. But I would create a NTFS partition from a Windows native system, if possible. Similarly, If I want to create FAT32 partition so that I can exchange files between windows and Linux, should I go with 0B W95 FAT32 or w95 FAT32 w95 FAT32 (LBA) What are the advantages in choosing one over the other? I tried to google, /usr/share/doc/util-linux etc., but could not find anything useful. As Memnon already pointed out, I think w95 FAT32 (LBA) adds compatibility with bigger hard disks. It would require a BIOS with that capability, also. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
