Bit too late for that now, as I read your original message and did
what you said on 1 July. I've only just got back to this newsgroup
and read your correction. However, it is not essential it is FAT32 -
I just want something that Linux will read from and write to. I have
my original C: partition of 40Gb for all my Windows stuff, so the
other 40Gb for Linux-only stuff is only right and proper!

However, one tiny problem - how do I edit FSTAB to put my new
partition details in? I have located the file, but when I double-
click on it, it comes up as Read Only.

Now I have re-booted, I find I still only have 1.2Gb available,
instead of 39.4Gb which it should be. I presume this is because my
Ubuntu is reading the partition details from FSTAB, and they are wrong
because I haven't corrected them yet; and that my disk is still
partitioned with my hda2 as 39.4Gb.

Please advise.
