What we're trying to say is to install your winxp in fat32, or get
another partition for datas, mp3 on fat32. Linux can't work in fat32
type fs. If i remember correctly partition magic can convert your ntfs
partition to fat32... but i may be wrong so it's best the check the
documentation for partition magic
It doesn't really matter if your partition is on Primary or Logical.

Thanks guys, so what your saying is the best solution is to set up
Fedora Core 2 as a FAT32 partition type and then set up another FAT32
partition type to store data in so I can read between Linux and
Windows XP instead of re-installing Windows under FAT32. That would
work? Or is there a way to change my partition type in Windows
without re-installation? I already have all the network stuff set up
and don't want to mess with all that again.
Also, do I create the partition as Logical or Primary or does it not
matter? Thanks again,
Matt
