resizing FAT partition

[hubert . fauque]

Hello,

I tried to resize a FAT partition using parted and I have the
following problem:
I use parted from the bootdisk;
the old partition table is:

1 0.031 1500  ext2
2 1500  2200  FAT
3 2200  3000  FAT

I want to remove the first partition and resize the second.
I do the commands:

rm 1
resize 2 0.031 2000

parted asks if I want a FAT32; I say OK, some disk activity
no error message but the new partition as ext2 type instead
of FAT as expected (shown by the print command) and of course
windows doesn't accept to boot. So I have done

rm 2
mkpart primary FAT 1500 2200

and I recover the old partition.

Thanks for any help

Hubert
