Hello,
I tried to resize a FAT partition using parted and I have the
following problem:
I use parted from the bootdisk;
the old partition table is:
1 0.031 1500 ext2
2 1500 2200 FAT
3 2200 3000 FAT
I want to remove the first partition and resize the second.
I do the commands:
rm 1
resize 2 0.031 2000
parted asks if I want a FAT32; I say OK, some disk activity
no error message but the new partition as ext2 type instead
of FAT as expected (shown by the print command) and of course
windows doesn't accept to boot. So I have done
rm 2
mkpart primary FAT 1500 2200
and I recover the old partition.
Thanks for any help
Hubert
