Its been a while since I reformated partitions under Linux, but if my memory is correct, you can use the program fdisk (under root) to format a new partition. Just follow the instructions to create a new partition and to write it to disk. If what you're saying is that you already have a FAT32 partition then you should be able to view it with fdisk also. There's another command to check what partitions are active on your system but i forget. Once you know where you're FAT32 partition is located, may it be /dev/hda6 or something else, all you need to do is incorporate an entry under the file fstab under /etc ( /etc/fstab ). This will of course only work if you use a linux that supports this file path. You're fstab file might be located elsewhere or might be under a different name, or it might not exist at all for your specific linux architecture. If everything worked right, you're partition will be available at every boot easily as a mountable partition or even directly if you have it mounted automatically. Hope this helps a bit. aXoneX ps: If you want a full line for an entry in fstab, let me know and i'll post what i have so you can examine how it's done. > Hello all, > > I'd downloaded the a-Linux, it's really cool stuff, but does anyone > knows how can I mount a FAT32 partition for read/write?
