I installed Windows 98 into C:, primary partition, then installed Windows 2000 into d:, extended partition with first logical drive, and Linux is installed into e:, extended partition with second logical drive.All these partitions, plus a 30Gb FAT32 partition is located into the same hard drive. I've done the partitions using FDISK. Haven't heard of UMSDOS so can't be using it. Only Windows 2000 drive (D:) is NTFS and the 1st partition of second hard drive is NTFS. And only Linux drive (E:) is formated to ext2 format. The rest are FAT32. The computer is about 1-2 years old. AMD K6-2 500MHz, 186Mb RAM, 1st HD is brand new 40Gb, 2nd HD is 8Gb. I think I might have enabled SMART using a program somwhere in the computer. If you need more details to solve the problem just let me know. BTW, if worst comes to worst, is there a way to uninstall Linux (and reinstall it)? Hansen
