   Well, I use HD-Driver in its latest release - 8.22- from Uwe Seimet,   
   and it is a f32 partition.   
   But what do you mean by parameters of partition being the problem ?   
   HD-Driver manages all by itself, just tell it the size and type of   
   the partition you want to create   
   What puzzles me is that MagiC! can read it correctly, but not MiNT.
