as a matter of fact, you *can't*. I once formated a USB stick as
swap (is it 82 or 83?) and used it in Linux as swap. (very little
ram on the old vaio I used.)
There was a second partition as raiser(?) and also 82 or 83.
Anyway later I wanted to use it again and windows was unable to
format it. I think it didn't even show up.
Did you look in Disk Management?
Formatted disks show in My Computer, but disks with an "alien"
filesystem show only in Disk Management on XP, which is a far less
obvious place to find.
Stroller.
