    Reformat ext3 partition to fat32

    When reformating ext3 partition to Windos(fat32), SUSE will not boot due to the an error in this partition (/dev/hda5/). The fsck needs to repair this filesystem manually. How to do this from the root directory?

    edit /etc/fstab file and change ext3 to vfat in /dev/hda5 line.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
