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 ??

It is probably alright, particularly if the partition you convert is not the XP "system" partition. Which bootloader are you using?


Linux will be fine reading and writing to a FAT32 partition.
