Here's the problem:
I had 40Gb disk full of important data. It was FAT32 file sistem.
I don't know what have I done but now it is a Linux file sistem on that
disk.
I didn't format disk.
How can I return previously FAT32 file sistem so I can use my old data.

Is there any program for this?
Can anyone help me?

How do you know it is a Linux file system? What DID you do with it?

Oh, and BTW, how does Sun enter into this?

Maybe the partition type number has been changed. That would make the disk
appear as being a Linux filesystem (btw. what Linux filesystem? Linux
supports a whole bunch) try using fdisk (i don't know what variants are
avaiable on Solaris) to change the partition FAT32 (0x0B) and see what
happens.

I installed Linux.
When I open Linux i can open that prtition too, but when I use Windows98 I
can't see it.

I can use fdisk, but I must format partition than. I have important data
there.
I dont know what filesystem it is. I installed Linux Knoppix.

If, when you open it under Linux, you can still see your data, then
probably all you need to do is change the partition type back. However,
fdisk is not the tool for that and could result in even bigger problems.
You need something like the Norton disk tools that will allow editing
the partition table.

Thanks man.

It's probably ext2 or ext3 FS.
However, what do Linux and FAT have to do with comp.sys.sun.hardware?
