OK Heres What I Have To Work With.

HDD#1=hda (windows xp) ntfs 120GB
HDD#2=hdb (fedora core 3) fat32 250GB

I wont to know how to put a 50GB shared swap partition on my second HDD (linux) so i can share files back and forth (and i wasent smart enough to reinstall windows as Fat32). So how do i do it. (And for some reson i don't have /etc/fdisk/fstab (one of the two))

Thankx

fdisk is a command in /sbin and fstab is a file in /etc.

I really hope your FC3 install isn't on a vfat partition, infact I didn't think anyone supported that any more. If your Linux partition is the full 250G you'll have to resize it with something like parted, qtparted, Partition Magic, etc and then create your new 50G vfat partition. Or if you don't mind reinstalling FC3, you can just whipe the drive and create the 50G vfat partition during the FC3 install.
