Partitions?

[u2mike]

I have three partitions,an ext2,swap,and a fat partition.I do not have windows and want to change the fat partition to ext2 or ext3.

Anyone know how I can do this from linux?

fdisk the drive, remove that parition and recreate it as ext2 or whatever...

If you're planning on keeping the content of the third partition, I would leave it as fat, or transfer everything on the third partition to your ext2 partition.

As far as I know, there realy isn't a way of changing from one file system to another without the loss of the data on that partition

I used fdisk and change the fat to ext2.Then I rebooted,but in Krusader it said it was still a fat partition,also the few files I had on it were still there.

Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Did you have a reference to that fat partition in /etc/fstab?

If so, then try changing it from vfat to ext2.
