hi i have FC3 installed in my computer along with windows XP my partitions is as follow 20 GB NTFS 40 GB NTFS 15 GB EXT3 5 GB SWAP since i can only mount NTFS partitions as read only under linux, i would like to convert them to Fat32 i guess linux reads and writes to Fat32 with no problems at all. my question is if i converted them using any program like partition magic or any other, will this affect or make me lose the boot loader and prevent me from logging into linux ?? any advices ?? -- Ahmed Abdel-Aliem Web Developer www.ApexScript.com 0101108551 registered Linux user number 382789
