i have a sony ns-11 256 mb pen drive ... wid the recent issue of of digit i installed the DSL(Damn small linux) onto it....it created two partitions on it one of 50 mb wid the os and one more 200mb partition..probably for the config files n all... the problem is now the 200mb partition is not being shown in windows ...if i go thru disk manager it says partition not active restart to make it active..and on restarting it again says the same thing...what do i do...

I think the 200mb partition is not NTFS or FAT.That is why it cannot be formatted in disk manager....I think ...I'm not too sure>>If what i'm say is true then get a software that can convert linux partitiones to FAT or NTFS
Magic partition is one such software.

the thing is normal linux partitions get deletd from the disk managment...but this one i am not able to delete

Did u try Partition Magic?
