Ahh.. that must have changed. I remember, a *long* time ago, when I 'did'
windows, that that was something to be aware of. probably Win98 and before.
I apologise for assuming that windows was still a finnicky piece of sh*t :)
It went somthing along the lines of any other primary partitions not being
visible, or making the system very unstable. I forget.
Anyhoo, I noticed after I sent my mail that the FAT32 partition in the
original post was a primary one... not a logical one as I said. bad reading
on my part...
