| 208516 | 2004-01-19 10:30:00 | I had a Linux partition (1.3GB) which I wanted to change to FAT32 which I did using Partition Magic but in the process it changed one of the other FAT32 Partitions (6GB) to something else (Partition Magic described it as <free>, fdisk described it as <unknown>). Is there a tool which will only change the partition type back to FAT32 as it hasn't been reformatted, without creating it (and trashing the data on the partition). I have since found that my backups are... um... not quite backing up the files I expected :O It hasn't been the best of computing days! |
