Instead of commercial software like partion magic you
can try humble fdisk on linux. You may need to do a
little hit & trial though.
As I would have done -
1. Boot using RH disk in rescue mode.
2. fdisk /dev/hda
3. remove all entries except the hda1
4. create extended partition. full 30 GB extending to
last cylinder
5. create logical partion of 20GB.
6. change partition type to NTFS/HPFS
7. save & Reboot to Windows. Verify wether it works.
8. If D: not recoginized try + - 1GB / cylinders size
of partition of the logical partition D:
If the D: was FAT then I sincerly would suggest to go
to Nehru Place for some commercial recovery as Windows
below uses different type of partion entries, more
info on this in 'man fdisk'
