Re: [MiNT] Wrong partition ID? Why?

Right.

Right.

Why?

That's your problem. So, let's take a look into the FAQ (part of 1.15.5
documentation):

---
Q: I have a FAT32 formatted harddisk and it doesn't work
   under FreeMiNT 1.15. But I read FAT32 are supported?

A: Yes, FAT32 is supported. But you need at least
   HDDriver 7.55.

You can try to add 'F32' as additional XHDI partition type. Eventually
help this if you use ATARI partition layout and not DOS partition layout.

Ok, but I mean which version I compiled for MiNT. The last from my site?
