Partitions

Recommended Posts

H'okay, so I currently have two hard drives: a 6 yr. old ~38GB which came with my computer, and a 160GB Seagate which I bought. As of right now I have Windows XP Professional installed on the 38GB one, and dual booting Slackware/FreeBSD on the 160GB one.

My question is, lets say I formatted the FreeBSD partition (~60GB of space) as NTFS, could I access this from Windows on the other hard drive? Would it have any effect on my Slackware partition?

Well wich is it , FreeBsd or Slackware..??

Yes , You should be able to...

Windows should just pick it up as another usable drive/partition...

Would it have any effect on my Slackware partition?

It shouldn't... Just un-mount and then re-mount that partition from within slackware, See if that corrects any error it might find..
