I have three partitions under win98: hda1 (c:) hda9 (d:) and hda4 (e:) (if you want to know why I still have windows, you may read this: http://www.mandrakeexpert.com/index1.php?tab=paid&act=view&incident=7114&w=0 &PHPSESSID=db1ebacda45a13eb67211228ecf142f8 )
I had to reinstall Mandrake 8.1 and since then, windows won't read hda4 (e:) I run linux/fdisk and found out that the type for hda4 was set to "hidden FAT32". Still with fdisk, I t to change the type from 1b to b (FAT32), w to write the table and exited. If I reboot to linux, the changes are still there. But when I boot win98, the partition e: is still not available... When I go back to linux after having booted win98, I notice that the partition table has changed back: the type for hda4 has come back from b to 1b. I have no such problems for my c: and d: drive, hda1 and hda9. Since I reinstalled mandrake, windows seems to be willing to hide hda4 from me. It's funny because the content is visible from linux. What's the point in having a windows partition visible only from linux and not from windows itself. Does anyone have a clue? thanks, Anguo
