First of all let me just say that I am quite new to Linux.
Ok, here goes my problem:
At the moment I am using Fedora 12 and would like to use Virtual Machine Manager to install Windows Xp (just in case) but I am having problems on creating an img on a partition i have in other disk.
I already tried it out in the system disk and it worked out fine but since I have few space on the system disk I decided that I wanted it somewhere else.
I managed to create a new File system and give him the path to where I wanted the img to stored but when I try and add a new it just doesn't do it
Does it have anything to do with permission in the partition, or, or?
The partition and its permissions need to be added to /etc/fstab.

or at least mounted.

That was done. I guess the problem was that the partition where I wanted to create the image was formated in Fat32 and it looks like that Virt-Manager doesn't like it and since changing it to Ext everything works fine.
Thanks anyway for the help.
