Hi, Thanks for your reply. Regarding convert, what I did is: I used PartitionMagic to delete the logical drive of hdb6 under Windows, then, I partitioned it with ext3 form, after that, restarted and logon FC2. The whole hdb consists of 3 drives, two of them are NTFS, totally about 100GB, then last one is ext3. Since now most of my data should be done under Linux, I converted it to ext3 avoiding of writing permission problem with NTFS. I'm pretty newbie of FC2. I tried googling first, but it still not clear how I can deal with it. Any suggestion please? Thanks. Best, Cao --- "H.
