Re: [Cooker] DANGER: WinME update may trash all non-Windows partitions

[Andrej Borsenkow]

Do you have both WinME and Linux on the same (first) disk? I have Windows
on the first, Linux on the second and never had any problem - I've
reinstalled Windows umpteens of time and used WindowsUpdate and nothing
evil ever happened.

But the second disk has only extended partition and Windows fdisk freezes
at start :-)
