Did you just install mandrake?  Also, they files you can't see, are they on a non primary partition? _   "John I. Azeke" wrote: I was looking at some of my windows 98 mpeg files under L. Mandrake 7.1 yesterday and when I rebooted the computer into windows, The partition of windows that contains all of my personal files was gone!  Confused, I went back into Mandrake and the partition was still present with all information.  I don't know why I can't see it under Windows. When Mandrake is performing its shut down sequence, There is a FAIL on "stopping identd services" I have tried:1) detecting new harware under windows... No Good2) unmounting the drive under Linux before restarting... No Good Can anyone help me?
