MS Fdisk does not recognize linux partitions.  You'll have to use some other means (partition magic or do what I do, hook the HD up to a working linux computer and fdisk it there, then put it back)

Subject: how do I get my drives back???

Hi all.  First I have to say, 2 dual boot computers later and all is nice and smooth.  Thanks to all on the list that responded.
 
I have a new question.  A while back, I installed redhat 6.2 on an old hp, worked fine.  Now my child needs a PC, and it too will be dual boot.  How do I get the drive back so MS can recognize it?  MS FDISK gives me 2 drives,
 
1. 16 mb primary DOS
2. 2 GB extended DOS
 
I can't delete the extended drive, because it has logical drives set up, when I go to delete logical drives, there aren't any to delete.
So as far as MS is concerned, I have 1 16 mb drive I can work with.
 
 
HELP!!!
 
Dean
