Some time back, I posted that my FAT32 partition was corrupted by FreeBSD, = and that I needed help... You'll probably all laugh at me once I tell you= what happened, but I'll tell you all FYI, in case anyone else needs to h= ear this. Simply put, somehow the partition type for that particular partition got se= t to decimal 27 instead of hex 0x0B. I could mount that partition once I = specified the file type, but Windows couldn't boot from it, and fdisk did= n't know what it was. Easy solution: After dithering helplessly for about= 2 weeks, it suddenly came to me. I looked up the correct type, (hex 0x0B= , dec 11) ran /stand/sysinstall to reset the partition to type 11, and vo= ila! It worked! Just in case anyone cares...
