If you recently installed Mandrkae 7.1, there is something of a "bug" where it will
hide your non-linux extended partitions from windows. To remedy this, download a perl
script from here ( http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/heliumlast.php3 ). Look for the
second install problem listed and follow directions. Let me know if this helped.
