Months ago, when I reformatted my hard drive to install Linux, I left a
partition on it for Windows, thinking that one day I might want to have
it. But I have found that I DON'T, and I'd like to actually make use of
the hard disk space I was about to waste on microsoft. Problem is, I
can't find advice about how to reformat that one partition without
reinstalling or updating Linux, neither of which I really want to do. I
figure all I would really have to do is format that one part for Linux,
tell the partition table it's a Linux partition, and maybe I'd need to
mount it? But I don't know how to do this outside of the Linux install
program.
Do any of you know a safe way I can do this without killing the rest of my
system?
Thanks a lot,
Nomi
