Hi all
I am running a dual-boot with Mandrake 9.1 and XP. I want have my home
folder on a Fat32 partition as drive B:/
This would then be accessible by both XP and Linux, and both would be able
to write to it.
Any ideas? I've heard you can do this with Tweak UI? except can't find it...

Unless things have changed with the advent of XP, one cannot set a partition
as B because it's reserved for an additional floppy drive. All partitions
must start at a letter higher than C. Besides, setting a partition at a
letter lower than the boot partition may confuse the system somewhat!
