Post detail on linux and its partition methods
I have created a guide on my website which details how to go about partitioning a hdd. I think I have got most of it sorted. The only things i am not 100% sure of is the linux detail. i was wondering if the people in the linux know could have a look over what i have written and tell me what needs to be fixed up. i tried to do as much research as i could (within a couple of hours) but do not feel totally confident of all of it. I really do appreciate this. the motivation for this guide was because when i wanted to install linux this process confused me majorly. thanx here is the direct link: How to partition your HDD

However, FAT32 shares all of the other limitations of FAT16, and adds an important additional limitation—many operating systems that can recognize FAT16 will not work with FAT32—most notably Windows NT, but also Linux and UNIX as well.
This is not true. Linux has no problem reading and writing fat32 partitions.

While it is true that Windows Operating Systems cannot read ext partitions natively, there are utilities for windows that will do it.
