Partition Type in fdisk
I have two partitions that were originally created and formatted as FAT
(one FAT16 and the other FAT32). Both have since been reformatted at
ext3. If I mount them without specifying the formatting and then run
mount to display the mounted partitions they show as ext3. No surprises
there. If I run fdisk, however, it still shows the original partition
type. I guess reformatting does not change that. My question is
whether the reverse is also true. Can I go into fdisk and change only
the partition type (just to get everything in sync again) without
messing things up. One of those partitions is my fake_windows partition
for wine and I really don't want to mess it up because it always takes
too much effort to get wine working again when it gets fubar.
