 Yes indeed it takes only a few seconds. That surprised me.
So, indeed i tried to mount it (it work) cp a file to it.
Unmount and remount and the file is still there.

So, I guess you are right. It is formatted.

The problem is that when I reboot in WinNT, the partition is not
recognized WinNT says "E:\ is not accessible. The volume does not contain a
recognized file system. Please make sure ...".
So what can I do to make WinNT to recognize the partition??

Greetings,
