Can I format a partition in Linux with FAT32 or NTFS?
I tried in fedora 9 to format a partition with FAT32 or NTFS but failed
In both the output says the the device isn't present.
the output is something like this:
mkfs.FAT32: no device present
mkfs.NTFS: no device present
I am able to format in Linux with ext3/4 and so I expected the format type to be visible in the below command output but isn't present in the output
I pressed l so as to list the diff. format types
I don't find ext3 or ext4 present. There is a type named 'Extended' but when I run the mkfs command with this type the same error I get. Why so?
