Hi All
I've just shifteed over to linux,form Windows.I 'm having 5 partations for use by my windows XP Professional and another one by linux.The partation table is as shown : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost6 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc2 1276 30400 233946562+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc5 1276 7649 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc6 7650 14023 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc7 14024 20397 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc8 20398 26771 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hdc9 26772 26784 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 26785 28059 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 28060 28124 522081 82 Linux swap / Solaris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I want to convert my NTFS partations /dev/hdc5 ,/dev/hdc6 ,/dev/hdc7 ,/dev/hdc8 over to FAT32,so that they can be accessible to me in both Windows and LINUX environments.I googled a lot for the same and found that in windows i'll have to delete all the partitions and recreate themin FAT32 format,but the limitation over here is that windows just allows a FAT32 partition to be at most of 32GB and i don't want to breakup my disk any more,can anyone please help me out with some way in the linux environment,to do the desired. Thanks to all,and please help me and LINUX grow.
Thanks & Regards Saurabh Sharma ************************************************************************************************** In world without fences and walls,who needs Gates and Windows ? **************************************************************************************************

You can access (read/write) NTFS partitions from Linux:

You can also build the NTFS module that comes with the kernel and modprobe it, or you can rebuild the kernel with the configuration changed to allow write access to NTFS file systems and install that.
To build the module, look here for guidance: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules
To build the kernel, see here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

The NTFS driver included in the kernel is considered unreliable in its support for NTFS writing. The de-facto standard is NTFS-3G, which is developed as a FUSE module (i.e. not a kernel module). I would advise against using the kernel module as it is recognized as not supporting NTFS writing reliably.

I worked with it, http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/NTFSPartitions much before i posted this mail,but all in vain.The system shows messages about the failure of loading the partition file system at the boot time.
Can some one provides any other way for it. Thanks for the responses.

What does googl'ing the error message (in quotes) come up with?
I don't have personal experience with it - It's been a long while since I dual-booted windows and Linux on the same machine, since I started playing with virtualization.
