I am dual booting. I have 2 HDs (hda and hdc) with 1 partition on hda formatted as NTFS with the rest (except for Linux) as FAT32, On hdc I have a Reiserfs partition (data1) with the rest as FAT32.
I now want to reformat at least 3 partions (say 2 on hda and 1 on hdc) as NTFS.
If I altered fstab to reflect the partitions I want to reformat as NTFS file system BEFORE I exited Suse and then formatted them as NTFS would I have a problem in having them correctly recognised when I booted back into Suse? Or would I need to do a pretend run of the partitioner after booting into Suse and read-in the partition table in case the beginning/ending sectors are altered by the reformatting?

OK, as I read it, you are setting out to repartition and reformat, rather than just reformat.
[Rest pruned] Nope, I have no intention of repartitioning- just reformatting :-) . Cheers. -- All Scottish food is based on a dare.
