    on the same device?

    Hei,

    I'm running redhat 9.0 which is installed on the secondary hard drive.
    The device name is: hdb and contains:
            - hdb1 103 ext3 MB /boot
            - hdb2 is a ntfs partition
            - hdb3 20000MB ext3 /
            - hdb4 19897 MB Extended!
                    (During installation it just came up!, why?)
            - hdb5 2045 MB linux-swap
    But this drive also has an emty unformated patirion with 17852MB free space.

    How can I format and mount this partition. I have learned that I should
    use NTFS or VFAT for common use of the drive, because I also have
    Windoes XP on the same computer.

    Thank's a lot,
    Hossein (working late)
