Hello!
I made the big step from my P60 to a AMD-monster 850MHz with 20GB HD.
With parts from the trash in my compstore it was only about 300 euro. First I
was booting with a Mandrake CD-ROM 8.0 and formating the HD with ext2.
All works fine but then I saw I need windows. I made a partition for win98,
tryed to install it -and failed. Next try and windows formated the HD! Ok
must be my mistake. I made the windowsinstall, windows works Linux was
blowing in the wind. I put the Linux-CD back and with DiskDrake I made a
Linux partition all works fine. After a time I made a drive d: with DiskDrake
and formated it under Linux with FAT32. Under windows there was the
drive but windows could not read it only after formating under windows.
Ok long talking- now my question. With some disktools windows crash on the d:
drive (eg. SequoiaView) and sometimes windows says there are errors in the
bootsektor of d: ? -It can fix it with scandisk- Under Linux the disk looks
like: /mnt/windows hda1 DOS c: /mnt/disk2 hda3 DOS d: / hda5 /swap hda6
/home hda7 Is there something wrong with that Partitontab ?
Thanks for reading!
