you're asking ?
I guess because an innocent fat32 partition was killed by a bad Linux
prog ;-)
I said innocent because nobody ever asked mandrake install to do
anything to this disk drive which was fully dedicated to windows
Do you realise this is like... a murder or should I say... a genocid
because millions of innocent bytes who were living on this partition are
now dead :-(
I tried to find who what was the reason for this war and if anyone
still survive there, but after this blood bath :
1-Mr Microsoft Scandisk refused to tell anything and prefered to die
2-Mr Linux Fdisk refused to display anything about an "invalid"
partition
3-Mr Mandrake Diskdrake displayed me a nice blue graphic showing the
partition but refused to do anything on it
Fortunatly Mr Linux Hexedit/dev/hdb and Mr Windows Fdisk accepted to
burry everybody on hdb and recreate an empty :-(( fat32
But really in this story that was not Mr M$ Windows who was not happy (
no sentiment anyway ) guess who was not happy ?? a silly guy called
bruno who had to reload tons of data and wasted a lot of time for that
...
BTW I wonder how many silly guys like me on this planet still have a
standard DELL computer with a Western digital 3,4 go disk drive ??
Would these guys try one day this fancy graphical install of linux where
you just have to click and watch and..... wait ;-)
?? Who knows ...

ok but when ?? just after diskdrake wrote the partition table ?? do I
have to tail -f /root/ddebug.log to determine when to do it ?
as I already told you diskdrake didn't display any special message,
everything looked fine when the problem occured.
