No, I meant fdisk, not DiskDrake.  Never used DiskDrake to be honest.

Login as root, type "fdisk" (without the quotes (") of course), type m
for help, and you'll see.

To change the partition type of a partition type, first type l to get
a listing of all the partitions.  Remember the number of the one
that's listed as "Linux extended".  Now type t <return> and the number
of the partition.  Next enter 5 <return>.  To get out of fdisk press
w.  Reboot.
