what do I have? (FAT, VFAT, FAT32, NTFS)

To All:

I having problem with reading/writing onto floppies/CDs,
so I decided to reinstall Xandros. Xandros 2.0 standard
recognizes FAT, VFAT, and FAT32, but not NTFS. [I already
have dual-boot M$ window/Xandros 1.0 .] Is there's a
way to tell what I have (I prefer to look from the linux side
if possible, but I need to, I'll reboot to M$ window once).

Thanks in advance for your help.

You can always look in your /etc/fstab that will tell you what partitions are mounted where and what file system they are using

try:

Code:

fdisk -l

xandros 2.0 automatically mounts the partitons
u can have a look at them in
/disks directory

the above commands can be used to see the partiutoins which can be mounted manually
