Hi List, I need to install Windows on an existing partition of my laptop. At the moment I have this label: laptop# bsdlabel /dev/ad0s1 # /dev/ad0s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 307200 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 b: 3072000 307200 swap c: 117210177 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 10485760 3379200 4.2BSD 0 0 0 e: 41943040 34099200 4.2BSD 0 0 0 f: 41167937 76042240 4.2BSD 0 0 0 g: 20234240 13864960 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 a: / b: swap c: extended d: /var e: /usr f: /home g: where I want to install windows I tried to format g: as FAT32, and I think it worked: laptop# newfs_msdos /dev/ad0s1g /dev/ad0s1g: 116981728 sectors in 14622716 FAT32 clusters (4096 bytes/cluster) bps=512 spc=8 res=32 nft=2 mid=0xf8 spt=63 hds=16 hid=4197991296 bsec=117210240 bspf=114240 rdcl=2 infs=1 bkbs=2 But when I run bsdlaben /dev/ad0s1 I have the same result as above, so the g: partition is still formatted with 4.2BSD filesystem, so that Windows won't see this partition. How can I format this partition and make it visible to the Windows CD-ROM?
