1. Swap space issue

Submitted by Ashesh on 5 February 2008 - 8:18am.

Indeed Sir,

Linux made my NTFS partition to disappear.

In fact this is what I did:
In the terminal:
>sudo su
>apt-get install gparted

or alternatively/easily used the Synaptic Package Manager to install the utility

(I also downloaded the LiveCD version of Gparted (around 52MB)

I resized my HDD2 to 5GB to be allocated as swap space. Then concerning the formatting of the other 35 GB as FAT32, I got the error msg: Kernel Read bla bla bla

When I restarted in Windows, I was happy to see the unformatted 35GB.

But why Windows does not recognises the 1 GB swap space and 40GB ext3 partition?

My next blog post will be on Installing a suitable IDE in order to be able to complete the labsheets.
