(solved) Re: need help on vfat partition



Thank Pascal and Eike!

Now I can see the picture.
I have created FS with mkfs.vfat
I have used XP to check it, it's OK

Note that Linux and mkfs.vfat do not care about the partition type id.
Also mkfs.vfat is the same as mkfs.msdos and mkdosfs. By default, when
not forcing the FAT type with -F, it will select the type depending on
the volume size. Of course it will select FAT32 for a 50 GB partition.
