My question was related to DSL, I think. Can I set up the partition table under DSL, so the other, bigger partition is the one XP can see? Or, can I change what the script does, so it's just one big vfat partition. This seems to make sense. There's no real reason to have two partitions unless you want to hide the DSL installation from XP, which might actually be a good idea. The existing situation is just a bit pointless. Why do I need two partitions under DSL, anyway. I'm happy to use one. Unless this has to do with the write limit for DOC's.
I'm pretty familiar with XP, and Linux, and OS/2, and a couple of other OS's, but the USB partitioning thing is a bit new to all of us, I think. DSL's USB install script partitions the pen drive into two partitions, then installs DSL on the smaller one. This is great up to that point. Now I want to be able to put data on the pen drive using the OS of my choice. With the partitioning scheme DSL's script used, I can't see the big, data partition with XP, which is, of course, the common Windows version du jour.
