It has to be formatted, *and* made the bootable partition. FDISK does that. You will need a boot manager, if you want to be able to use WinME OR W95. Linux will handle it better if you just delete that 5GB partition. The Linux installation script will partition the spare space, and format it. And provide a boot manager. |
