Hi All

I've just shifteed over to linux,form Windows.I 'm having 5 partations for use by my windows XP Professional and another one by linux.The partation table is as shown : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost6 ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *           1        1275    10241406    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc2            1276       30400   233946562+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdc5            1276        7649    51199123+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc6            7650       14023    51199123+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc7           14024       20397    51199123+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc8           20398       26771    51199123+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc9           26772       26784      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hdc10          26785       28059    10241406   83  Linux
/dev/hdc11          28060       28124      522081   82  Linux swap / Solaris
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to convert my NTFS partations /dev/hdc5 ,/dev/hdc6 ,/dev/hdc7 ,/dev/hdc8 over to FAT32,so that they can be accessible to me in both Windows and LINUX environments.I googled a lot for the same and found that in windows i'll have to delete all the partitions and recreate themin FAT32 format,but the limitation over here is that windows just allows a FAT32 partition to be at most of 32GB and i don't want to breakup my disk any more,can anyone please help me out with some way in the linux environment,to do the desired.
Thanks to all,and please help me and LINUX grow.

Thanks & Regards
Saurabh Sharma
