Re: win95 fat32 and linux on the same machine
Hi,
I am also running windows 95's fat32 and linux on a single HDD, but I boot
my Linux off of a diskette. The only difference between our install is that
I used extended not dos on my linux partition when I first installed. Unless
you have partition magic I doubt that could could format that way, FDISK
does not provide it.

Subject: win95 fat32 and linux on the same machine
Hi,
Is this a Windows95 FEATURE ;-)
When running Linux(Bo) an a machine with Windows95b(Fat32)
the next time I run Windows it complains that the filesystem is in
'MSDOS compatability mode' and will not load any virtual disk drivers
(including my CD!). The only way I know to get Windows to use the
32bit FAT again is to re-build the filesystem and re-install!.
The Win95 and the Linux root/swap partitions are on separate drives.
I am not mounting the Window partition from linux.
I boot using a DOS floppy with LOADLIN and the installation
kernel(2.0.29?) on it.
HELP!
Cheers, Ben.
