    Ok well at this point in time I am completely stumped as to what to do next:
    -------------------------------------------------------
    fdisk display partition information:

    Current fixed disk drives:1

    Partition/Status/Type/Mbytes/System/Usage
    C:1____ /__ A__/PRI DOS/19665/Fat32/50%
    2____ /_____ /EXT DOS/19540/____/50%

    --------------------------------------------------------

    (the underscores are just to keep the info in context)

    Windows obviously at this stage doesn't recognize my second partition. I am unable to format it since it has no name, and I do not know how to give it a drive name.

    Is anyone out there willing to guide me along step-by-step to assist me in accomplishing my objective? I would be grateful.

    I realize a great majority of you probably do this on a regular basis and it gets rather "old", but as I have never been able to do this, to me it a learning experience and your patience is appreciated. And obviously your assistance is as well.

    Thanks in advance, Luxman.
