Good point Hunkah,

I had to re-read through the complete thread, and I guess we all assumed "everyone" knew this information.

DOS - FAT - VFAT = Windows and DOS -=- Which is now (basically) Microsoft domain...
NTFS - is also Microsoft domain based, and is newer (enough) that at least Knoppix can look at it.

Knoppix can read/write to DOS, FAT, VFAT, its native file systems are ext2, ext3, and forget my misspelling here, reises [?] -=- Knoppix can also read NTFS, but isn't capable, that I know of, to write to it (from what I here).

As someone said, in a post somewhere else - use DOS software/OS's for DOS partitioning, and Linux/Debian/Knoppix software/OS's for the Linux partitioning stuff.
