[KLUG Members] partition question

[Eric Beversluis]

When I installed XP on my Sony dual boot I created one partition/drive
in NTFS. I created another that I wanted to format later as FAT32 for
passing files between XP and Linux.

Then when I installed Fedora I let it automatically set up the
partitions. What's confusing is that now when I look at 'My Computer' in
XP it sees three partitions, C: (which is formatted NTFS) and D: and G:,
neither of them being formatted. I would think I should only see the D:
partitions. My problem is that I don't know which I should format as
FAT32 and whether, say, the G: drive actually includes some of the Linux
stuff.

'fdisk -l' on Linux gives this printout:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        1785    14337981    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2            1786        4864    24732067+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5            1786        2295     4096543+   e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)
/dev/hda6            2296        2308      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda7            2309        4864    20531038+  8e  Linux LVM

And mount ->
[root at sonyc ~]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda6 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
automount(pid2440) on /misc type autofs
(rw,fd=4,pgrp=2440,minproto=2,maxproto=4)
automount(pid2490) on /net type autofs
(rw,fd=4,pgrp=2490,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

(Side question: why doesn't 'mount' show hda7 (the main Linux partition)
as mounted?)

I believe that hda2 includes hda5,6,7. Is there any way to figure out
which corresponds to D: and to G: in XP's way of thinking? I guess I'm
worried that maybe XP thinks hda2 is D: and hda5 is G:.

Did I make a mistake in letting Fedora automatically set up the
partitions? (I sure hope not, having spent about 4 days now getting this
install in shape.) Maybe because the second partition I set up for XP
wasn't formatted yet, Fedora handled it differently than I wanted?
