It was necessary for me to use that new type on my 13G drive or I would lose
the FAT32 logical partitions in the extended partition and _all_ the
partitions after 1024. MS Windows didn't like the Linux extended partition
type. And Partition Magic 4.01 was of no use in configuring the drive. I
wound up using a combination of MS fdisk and Linux fdisk (I also needed to
put a BeOS partition in there.)
