That is not what I said.
I said that if the Windows partition is included in the Extended partition
created by diskdrake when Mandrake is installed then Win2K will not be
bootable.
It is similar to the problem that occured in 7.1 when the installation was
run in auto mode.
But instead of the partition being changed to Type 85 it prevents the proper
operation of the Win2k bootloader because that partition is no longer
Primary.
