I have a computer which, until recently, had one hard drive. My operating system was Windows XP Professional. The drive had two partitions, one the usual C:\, of file type NTFS, and the other, of file type FAT32, a hidden one from which, as I understand it, I can restore Windows, if necessary.

I recently installed a second hard drive in the computer and, on it, installed Fedora Core 3. On the second drive, I created a "/boot" partition and a "/" partition, both of file type ext3. I also created a swap partition.

I knew I could create on the second drive a partition of the vfat file type and so I did that as well, understanding that that partition would be capable of being used by both OSs.

However, that partition does not appear when I run Windows.

Have you formatted it in Windows?


Was my understanding wrong? Have I simply created an unnecessary partion accessible only by FC3?
