Hi.
I want to delete an NTFS partition and write a new FAT/FAT32 one. I am using
cfdisk since windows fdisk does not let me delete ntfs partitions.
Now, I have a primary fat32, an extended partition, and on that extended
partition, I have 1 etx2, 1 linux-swap, one NTFS, one FAT32.
I delete the NTFS (without writing to the disk), and then create a new one.
cfisk asks me if I want that partition to be primary, or logical.
Can this be true? The unallocated space is in the first location of the
extended partition, but still on the extended partition. how can cfdisk write
another primary partition? will it destroy ALL my partitions?
I think making another primary is cool, so that is what I am looking for.
(if anyone knows another way to convert my ntfs to fat, he is welcomed to
speak, the data on that partition is useless, if that mathers)
