That surprised me. So, indeed i tried to mount it (it work) cp a file to it. Unmount and remount and the file is still there.
So, I guess you are right. It is formatted. The problem is that when I reboot in WinNT, the partition is not recognized WinNT says "E:\ is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure ...". So what can I do to make WinNT to recognize the partition??
