To make it clear once more:
I *did not* use M$ Fdisk to create the partition which got
damaged.
M$ is not able to create more than one primary partition on one
harddisk. The damaged partition (/dev/hda2) was a *primary*
partition.
So Windows could *not* know about the second primary partition
with Linux on it. And BTW, I always had the root partition of
Linux on a primary partition, so that I never run the risk of
getting my Linux damaged by Windows. Or so I thought....
So the proposed cause could not be in effect here.
