Mine is NTFS & I used Partition Magic 8.0 to create a partition for Red Hat Linux. Now I find that Linux is boring. A lot of stuff cannot be done with Linux. However, I should be glad because I am still online. I think I need to get a new computer. I need to call Dell tomorrow. Hopefully they will not ask me to reformat.

If you know any site offering step by step solutions to my problem please let me know. I BEG YOU! I WILL POLISH YOUR SHOES IF U R IN FRONT OF ME.
