News to me. Before today I never knew Linux used 85 as an extended
partition type. PTEDIT.EXE knows nothing of a type 85h. I changed one of
mine from 05h to 85h and all FAT16 and FAT32 partitions disappeared from
windoze. To windoze 9x, only 05h and 0Fh are valid extended partition
types.

Not exactly. You can have a perfectly valid windoze partition within a
type 85h extended, and the only reason windoze won't see it is because
of the wrong extended type.
