Too difficult to figure out exactly what you are trying to do.  Please post back with your desired partition setup in a list-type form -- eg.  Partition -- Mount Point -- Format -- Partition Type.

Below is an example of how I'd like you to report what you are trying to do.  It is NOT a suggestion of how to do anything, because I don't know how you are trying to set anything up yet.

/dev/sdb1 -- / (root) -- Ext4 -- Primary partition
/dev/sdb2 -- none -- none -- Extended partition
/dev/sdb5 -- /home -- Ext4 -- Logical partition
/dev/sdb6 -- /Windows -- FAT32 -- Logical partition

Dear LL Team,

I have been successfully been installing LL2 in my USB & USB HDD and its working fine, except following issue;

1.When installed in USB HDD i configured one of the extended partition as FAT32 and gave the mount point as Windows the software installs and at reboot the grub runs and displays the standard LL boot options and then once booted to LL2 it goes blank further OS doesn't get loaded.

2.I reinstalled the same with all extended partitions as ext4 format it works fine.

I tried this n number of times the above 2 options the result was same, right now i working with the option 2, but i want to configure one of the partitions as FAT32.

Pl help me in this   

Arun
