I converted my laptop from win2k to Suse a while back. Initially I kept a
couple of my NTFS partitions so I could transfer files to the new linux
partitions. Along the way as I migrated data off the NTFS, I 're-claimed'
the partition as a linux partition. However on the 1st of 2 NTFS part. I
forgot to change the partition type prior to mkfs-ing. Now that partition
has data on it [/dev/hda5] as an ext3 type.
Should I change the 'type' of partition? If I do will I loose data?
Also, any idea why the 2nd swap partition is marked '+' ?
Thanks,
TroyC
