windows on my system has access to c,d,and,e drives normally, and all of the
rest of my hard drive space is for linux, so i know it must be a linux
formated area...sectorwise, it is located between win c and the normal win d
on the drive....i had to do that because of the 1024th sector thing (its a
red hat 7 system and still has this limitation)...it worked fine for a
while, and then during the time when i was attempting to mount windows
drives in linux, it was detected, given a new drive letter d, and the old d
and e were moved to where they are now (e and f)...also, i was only able to
mount the old windows c and e drives for some reason...mounting d would not
work, and even though according to fdisk, win d should have been hda6, if i
mount that section with an auto format option, it works but is not the right
partition (i see the kernal in there, etc)....i wonder if this has anything
to do with it.....if i was able to put linux after windows on the drive and
just put the /boot partition before 1023 i wonder if all of the drives would
be mountable and maybe windows wouldn't see linux...otherwise, is there a
way to add mandrake 7.2's version of lilo (which does not need to have the
/boot dir before 1024) to a red hat system (which seems to be more stable
than mandrake on this particular system..........am i making any sense at
all or should i relax for a while and just have many beers?
