Some program, or just options in >fstab that I have missed in man page? > >Ivan Glushkov I don't understand :( Bought a new hd. Installed the first partition as VFAT32 with fdisk to win. Then installed win98. Bought a win2000 + 2000professionnal. Installed that over the first win98. Now I can run win2000 or win2000 professionnal wihout any problem and can read and write from linux to that partition=win. mess-mate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
