| Apr 15, 2011 at 14:24 | comment | added | Mike Rowave | Without using trickery, how do I ensure that Windows sees the one partition I want it to see? Does the partition have to be placed first, or last? Or do I format only one partition with a format Windows that can understand (FAT32 or NTFS), so that Windows will see the FAT32/NTFS partition and ignore the ext2/ext3 Linux partition? | |
