Hi I don't have any problem with this but I wonder if any of you guys ever encountered a problem like this. I have a multi-boot system between win98, win2k and linux.
Now I installed win98 first(c), then created 2 fat32 partitions(d,e). After that I installed win2k on a NTFS partition(f). Ok now I created a 4th fat32 partition after the NTFS partition (f in win98; g in win2k). And finally I installed Linux-Mandrake 7.1. Now the problem is that after installing Linux I could not see the 4th fat32 partition in win98, although I could access it in win2k. This problem went ballistic when I accessed certain files on drive e (3rd fat32 partition) through linux. The system got stuck. On returning to win98 and running scandisk; it reported that the fat table of the drive was corrupted and I ended up losing a lot of data. This corruption happened twice. I managed to fix the problem by running Partition Magic from windows. And now I can access the missing fat32 partition from win98. I want to know why this might be happening and is there a free alternative to the problem. Partition Magic is not free software. Shi __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
