--Assuming your new Fat32 partition is /dev/hda2, from the knoppix cd:
' mkdosfs -F 32 -v /dev/hda2 '

--Now some systems require that the Fat32 partition be not just of type b (Fat32), it may need to be type c (FAT32 LBA.) Just FYI. I've run into this on one old 500mhz computer, had to change the extended partition from type 5 (Extended) to type f (Win95 Extended LBA).

--Once windows boots and recognizes the new fat drive, I highly recommend you re-format it from within Windows just for peace of mind.

--If you need further guidance, post results of ' fdisk -l ' from Knoppix cd, as root.

By the way how can I get rid of the LILO bootloader?


Thank you in advance,
