My primary IDE interface has my Linux disk attached as Master, my secondary
IDE interface has my DOS disk as Master. My CDROM is slave on one of these
interfaces. This is why my C drive is seen as /dev/hdc1 from Linux.

You're right on the button. I double checked what you said and you are
right, you
are allowed up to 4 principal partitions (hdc1-4) on an IDE disk, any more
partitions
must be part of an extended partition and are logical drives (hdc5- ... ).
Thank you very much. Don't know why I couldn't locate the data earlier.
