Beware of msdos fdisk!
I'm in the process of activating a big disk. I had made, in linux, a
partition for windows, loaded it from an image, then tested it. I tried
fdisk to check how did it see the partitions, run fdisk /mbr, then tried
to see if windows run, then cam back to linux.
The extended partition had been shrinked!
It should be:
/dev/hdc2 2795 38913 290125867+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
and was modified by dos fdisk (I did not tell it to write anything) to:
/dev/hdc2 2795 18474 125949600 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
and there were some partitions left out of that space:
/dev/hdc13 18475 21085 20972826 83 Linux
/dev/hdc14 21086 23696 20972826 83 Linux
...
so that linux fdisk complained:
Logical partition 13 not entirely in partition 2
Logical partition 14 not entirely in partition 2
and they were not mounted.
This originates, I guess, because the disk is 320GB, and the bios doesn't
see the full size nor Windows Me, it seems - but linux does fine.
