Right. I've just done a reinstall of sarge. I've even redownloaded the installation CD (http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040528/sarge-i386-netinst.iso) This time, I also tried manually mounting the windows partition both as /target/windows and /target/banana while the base system installation was running. The result is the same as with mounting via partman: GRUB configuration says that there doesn't seem to be another OS installed. Again, not mounting anything works as expected. Are you sure that this is not a FAT32 versus NTFS issue? If there are still no new findings next weekend, I might try to reinstall win98 from scratch and see whether that makes a difference. However, it would probably be useful to get another independent report about a FAT32-based windows installation. (Best would probably be win9x/ME although win2k with FAT32 might be interesting as well...)
