Hi
After the installation of Windows and Linux
on my desktop.I partitioned the disk space under Windows and kept the
partitions as raw.
Switched to Linux as Root,and viewed the disk it showed
the partitions as FAT 16 while i kept them Raw,under windows.
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

More
over formatting them
under Linux [as shown below] ,did not
altered their system type.
[root@localhost ~]#
mkdosfs -v -F32 /dev/hdc5
mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
/dev/hdc5 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track,
logical sector size is 512,
using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 102398246 sectors;
file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 32 sectors per cluster.
FAT size is 24988 sectors, and provides 3198382 clusters.
Volume ID is 475c1a5c, no volume label.
They are still shown as FAT
16,the system shows some FAILURE messages at the boot time.

Which i think are logged at /var/log/ as i had entered entry for them
in /etc/fstab to be mounted at boot.

I've to manually mount them under Linux in order to
use them.
Please help me out with these partitioning and mounting issues.thanking
you all.
Thanks and Regards
