And, if you have, just boot the CD rescue system, mount root ("/"), and edit fstab - with "vi", so you'd better learn how to use it. :-p
?vi!? No way, Jose :-) .
I use pico, which is at least useable :-) .
X-) That's Pine editor. Unfortunately, the rescue CD is limited in space, and only has vi - unless they added something else lately :-?
Thanks Carlos. Exactly what I wanted to read. As you correctly deduced, all I want is to reformat a few current FAT32 (17Gb) partitions as NTFS.
(Reason why I want to do is that is that I read that one can only have a file with max size of 4Gb under FAT32 but unlimited size under NTFS - and I will be creating files larger than 4Gb.)
Ah, that makes sense. However, remember that you will not be able to write to them under Linux. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
