You can format a partition as VFAT *or* LVM, it can't be both at the same time. If you've got a LVM partition showing up as VFAT that probably means that you prepared that partition for use as VFAT, but then reformatted it to be LVM. The partition type will only set the default that a format will do, you can override the default. Reformatting doesn't reset the partition type to show how it was formatted. See <http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs> for something that can read LVM on Windows. I haven't tried it myself, I just read a reference to it on a website. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
