Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Summary: Windows 2000 detects linux ext2 on boot, causing problems Version: 0.92-7 Type: software bug
Message: -----------PROBLEM DESCRIPTION----------- When booting to Windows 2000, Windows detects the Linux drive and has the following problems because of this: - Win2K attempts to run chkdsk on the ext2 drive, which it skip because it detects that it's not a windows file system - Win2K boots very slow - In event log: EventID 7022 "The Logical Disk Manager service hung on starting." - ext2 was mapped by Win2K, which caused major problems when opening up file explorer. Resolved by removing the mapping through Disk Management - Win2K Disk Management shows ext2 partition as Active - tried to hide ext2 with grub, no affect in Win2K. When reboot, grub can't access ext2 so fails. - The same problem was discussed at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Q_20412213.html with no solution. -----------CONFIGURATION----------- - fdisk: fdisk /dev/hda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1283 4100 22635553+ 1c Hidden Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 1 1282 10297633+ 1c Hidden Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda3 * 4101 4800 5622750 83 Linux /dev/hda4 4801 4865 522112+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 4801 4865 522081 82 Linux swap fdisk /dev/hdb Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 9729 78148161 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) - grub.conf: # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.
