Hi After the installation of Windows and Linux on my desktop.I partitioned the disk space under Windows and kept the partitions as raw. Switched to Linux as Root,and viewed the disk it showed the partitions as FAT 16 while i kept them Raw,under windows. [root@localhost ~]# 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+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdc6 7650 14023 51199123+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdc7 14024 20397 51199123+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdc8 20398 26771 51199123+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdc9 26772 26784 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 26785 28059 10241406 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 28060 28124 522081 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc12 28125 30400 18281938+ 6 FAT16 More over formatting them under Linux [as shown below] ,did not altered their system type. [root@localhost ~]# mkdosfs -v -F32 /dev/hdc5 mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005) /dev/hdc5 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track, logical sector size is 512, using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 102398246 sectors; file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 32 sectors per cluster. FAT size is 24988 sectors, and provides 3198382 clusters. Volume ID is 475c1a5c, no volume label. They are still shown as FAT 16,the system shows some FAILURE messages at the boot time.
