Re: disabled drive

[Michael]

I don't know for sure because I don't know what Partition Magic does, but 
it sounds like the drive has been "hidden".  If you can boot from the first 
RedHat CD you might be able to enter the Grub interactive mode (like a 
command line) to unhide it.  Since you haven't installed RedHat you can 
also make a grub boot floppy from the CD.  Once you're in to the Grub 
interactive mode try:

unhide (hd0,0)

The first integer `0' indicates the drive number, that is, the first hard 
disk, while the second integer, `1', indicates the partition number (or the 
PC slice number in the BSD terminology). The partition numbers are counted 
from _zero_, not from one.

Change the numbers for whatever disk / partition your NTFS is.

hi, i'm attempting to install Redhat9 alongside XP (already installed).  i
used partition magic to setup a linux partition & chose (stupidly) to disable
the NTFS drive.  now i can no longer start XP.  does any1 know how i can
re-enable the NTFS drive, i'm not sure how - as i can no longer access XP.
