I have hda and hdb. Windows (several versions) is on hda, Linux (several
versions) is on hdb in logical drives extended partition (type 0x5) -
hda5, hda7 etc with lilo on each partition. I use boot manager to boot
all windows and Linux systems. Boot manager does not recognize logical
drives inside 0x85 partition type and cannot boot from them.
In any case - why you decide for me what partition type should I use?
And why you do it SILENTLY? Without even asking or at least informing
me?

Then it accounts for all those reports about "lost partitions" during
Mandrake installation. Yes, there were plenty of them in NG.
