Could you partion the CF, and then have FFS on one partition and FAT16/32 on teh other ?

Does CF supports NTFS ?

Unless things have changed even win98 doesnt supportt ntfs.  I used to have drivers for it, but they were read only, dont know if thats changed.

Im guessing that now linux has read/write support of ntfs partitions that it does.

Fair enough on the FFS/FAT formatting, didnt realise that was the issue.  

How does it work with mixed drives with ntfs and linux then ?

Is that because the bootloader resides in sector 0.  I am seeking enlightement here, not questioning your knowledge.  

Would like to know for my own data banks :)
