| 777801 | 2009-05-29 01:12:00 | Hi all. Have used gparted to create a partition for Windows7 gparted has worked well but have noticed that the new file is ext2 format. Should I reformat to NTFS?? while I am still in program? |

| 777806 | 2009-05-29 08:08:00 | Isn't ext2 a linux format anyway so you would still need to change to NTFS, whether using Gparted or the Win 7 install | gary67 (56) | ||
