I can find all sorts of info on fat32 partition out of windows. what i want to do is take a partition off of sda6(linux partition) and make that partition fat32.
like I said I can find lots of info on how to do this in windows off of a windows drive but nothing on linux. anyone know of a good tutorial or any help.

Have you searched Google?

This post is entertaining and educational: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showt...hreadid=143973
(mostly about multi-booting, but some good stuff on partitions

man fdisk will help---especially running fdisk on different drives to see what's there.

"what i want to do is take a partition off of sda6(linux partition) and make that partition fat32. "

What do you mean? You just want to format the partition? Or are you trying to somehow keep the information on that partition?

I want to partition that partition into 2 sections. one keep the info on that partition and another (the new one) make it a fat32. That is possible...Isn't it? I hope I make sence sorry if i don't

You absolutely do make sense. First you want to backup the data that you want to keep(to another partition or to dvdrom), then, you can run a program, I like to use cfdisk, to delete the partition and make 2 new ones.
This if funny because this is actually something I'm in the process of doing myself. Except that in my case I am formatting hda1 (currently holding Breezy); I have to do this out of necessity for school and Windows 2000
Of course I'll still have Zenwalk on a reiser4 hda5, /home on hda6, Slack on hda7, etc.
To keep things fun I like to boot these various distros using different media. Some OS's boot from floppy's, other from GRUB in the MBR.

Good luck and have fun!

I have to delete everything on the drive? so all the suse stuff I just loaded now must be redone...uggg. o well. thankyou for the help. This is one of those things I want to know 100% of what Im doing before i do it. If you know what I mean
