Good advice, John, but I knew that one before. I always do only
the "C:" partition with M$-fdisk. Every other partition is
created by Linux.
Next point: As you may see it was not the extended partition
which got "mugged", it was the second primary partition. That is
a sure sign that I did not set it up with M$-fdisk!
