Thanks All. I have a single drive with 4 partitions, 2 Fat32 and 2 Linux (swap & ext3, RL.)
I tried all of this but not success. I ran fdisk from DOS and found that DOS seen that the external partition was set to the active partition. I set the first partition as active and I was where I wanted to be.
