If this is LM 7.1, there is a diskdrake bug that changes the first extended
partition type from Windows Extended to Linux Extended making it unreadable
from Windows. See http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 for more
info and a script that might fix it. I tried the script, but it failed for
a reason I couldn't figure out. So I picked out the fdisk commands from the
script and just typed them in by hand to change the partition type back to
Windows Extended.
