Let's see now...
hda1 =C:\ - primary Windows partition
hda2 = the extended partition with hda5=/, hda6=swap hda7= /home, all logical
partitions
hda3 =D:\ - another primary Windows partition
Now, I wonder why Windows fdisk doesn't allow creating more than *one* primary
partition on a given hard drive. There must be a rock solid reason for this.
At least try and unset the bootable flag of the second primary partition.
