Post #4068 · 02-18-11 09:54:07 PM It should show up under the volume manager in administrative tools in control panel. I'm not sure if that's still in the same place in Vista/7 as in XP though.____________________ |

Well you need to format it before Windows can assign a drive letter. It wont simply identify a filesystem it is unfamiliar with.
You could probably wipe it with some sort of *nix livedisc and then Windows will identify an unformatted drive then. (At least that's what it did to me when I was setting up a Windows/*buntu system.) ____________________ |

The other, more ugly option would be installing a Linux file system driver. No, it did not work for me either, but it made Windows assign a drive letter to the partition so you can do a simple format e: or similar. ____________________ Most people who visit your Web pages are there in search of useful or entertaining information, not to admire your fancy graphics skills or HTML prowess. — Apple Web Design Guide, 1996 |

Paulguy's Post configuration If it's ext2-ifs, just set the installer to Windows XP compatibility mode. It works except for auto mounting, which you don't need anyway. ____________________ |
