Hi, |

| 21 |
as a matter of fact, you *can't*. I once formated a USB stick as swap |
| 22 |
(is it 82 or 83?) and used it in Linux as swap. (very little ram on the |
| 23 |
old vaio I used.) |
| 24 |
There was a second partition as raiser(?) and also 82 or 83. |
| 25 |
Anyway later I wanted to use it again and windows was unable to format |
| 26 |
it. I think it didn't even show up. I had to plug it in Linux and change |
| 27 |
to b(?). |
| 28 |
Also I once had a problem with a fat partition of around 200gb on an |
| 29 |
removable usb hdd. Windows does not like that big FAT. I think the |
| 30 |
maximum is somewhere around 70? They want to force you to use ntfs then. |
