Some time back, I posted that my FAT32 partition was corrupted by FreeBSD, and that I needed help... You'll probably all laugh at me once I tell you what happened, but I'll tell you all FYI, in case anyone else needs to hear this. Simply put, somehow the partition type for that particular partition got set to decimal 27 instead of hex 0x0B. I could mount that partition once I specified the file type, but Windows couldn't boot from it, and fdisk didn't know what it was. Easy solution: After dithering helplessly for about 2 weeks, it suddenly came to me. I looked up the correct type, (hex 0x0B, dec 11) ran /stand/sysinstall to reset the partition to type 11, and voila! It worked! Just in case anyone cares...
