Ik heb mijn uitleg al eens getypt op de ubuntu fora maar daar bleven ze mij het antwoord schuldig, dus misschien is er hier iemand die me verder kan helpen 
Hello,
I want to install windows xp on another partition. Using mkntfs I created an NTFS Partition, I rebooted my laptop with the windows xp cd, and when it showed me the only free partition on my disk I had my doubts if it was the partition I just created or my linux partition. It said:
C: Partition1(kingston) [FAT] 1906MB (1841MB Free)
I didn't select it because I was quite sure it wasn't the partition I wanted and I was afraid it would wipe off my linux.
2 reasons: - It says FAT while it clearly is NTFS
- Afaik 1906MB is little over 1 gigabyte, and my partition
is 106 gigabyte.
In ubuntu partition manager I see the following:
-dev/sda1 ext3 size : 35,81gig used : 10,67gig
-dev/sda3 ntfs size : 107,44gig used : 67,80MB
-dev/sda2 extended size: 5,79gig ---
When I do sudo fdisk -l :
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x45759115
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 4675 37551906 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 18702 19457 6072570 5 Extended
/dev/sda3 4676 18701 112663845 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda5 18702 19457 6072538+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Can anyone clarify this please?
Thanks in advance
