Thanks for replying,as i'm too new to linux i dont know how to set the 
partition type,i just google for things and move ahead.Can you please 
let me know how to get this done or what all you meant.After Scott's 
comments i just goggled and found parted,which showed partitions type as 
FAT32,this is just opposite to one shown by fdisk -l.

[root at XBox ~]# parted /dev/hdc print

Model: ST3250820A (ide)
Disk /dev/hdc: 250GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

12      231GB   250GB   18.7GB  logical   ext3             

Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

Please help me grow...!
