 How do I create an NTFS partition with Gentoo? I've got a hard disk that I want to partition as part ext3 and part NTFS but I've become stuck. I've created the ext3 partition and formatted it with mke2fs -j but how do I create an NTFS partition? Fdisk lists 3 different types as NTFS, 7 HPFS/NTFS 86 NTFS volume set 87 NTFS volume set I'm assuming 7 is the correct type to pick, I'm using an external USB IDE drive. Which tool do I use to now format this partition?      |

You use the tool known as M$ windows to format the partition. Ideally you create the partition with windows too as this ensures that any registry entries are properly made. -- Stephen Fairchild |

Yes, 7 is the correct ID in your case. > Which tool do I use to now format this partition? # emerge sys-fs/ntfsprogs $ man mkntfs .... Merry Chrismas, Henning |

A "registry entry" when you're using a command to BLANK a hard drive? *If* Windows was installed, it wouldn't be any longer after formatting the drive, therefore there'd be no registry to write too...
