God pardon my ignorance!
I deleted Linux partition using fdisk. I know nothing of Linux and so didn't want it.
Now I can't access the 2GB partition on which Linux was installed. My Win95 doesn't
show the partition. And everytime I boot the comp LILO still comes up. How do I set
things right and get my comp to use that 2GB?
Thanks for any help. would be forever grateful.

Subject: Allowing all users to access and write to a partition
Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 16:56:14 +0800
I am running RH6.1 and win98 on my computer. I have set aside a FAT32
partition (/dev/hda9) for files that can be accessed and modified by all
users and mounted it at boot time under /mnt/pub with this line in fstab:
/dev/hda9 /mnt/pub vfat defaults,user 0 0
However, not all users are able to create files in that directory other than
root. Chmod 777 /mnt/pub only changes the permissions of that directory when
it's unmounted, but not when it is mounted already. It is troublesome, as a
normal user, to unmount /dev/hda9 and mount it again so that files can be
written. How do I allow writing of files to /mnt/pub for all users at the
same time?

In your case as well as in the case that began this thread, the
problem could have been solved by changing one bit on the disk. The
type (ID) of the extended partition should have been 85 (or 0F), not
05.
In the example case where DOS would not boot, not even from floppy,
the partition tables on hdc looked like this:
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1232 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 127 256 1044193+ 6 FAT16
/dev/hdc2 257 512 2056320 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc3 513 768 2056320 16 Hidden FAT16
/dev/hdc4 1024 1232 1678792+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdc5 1024 1029 48163+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdc6 1030 1200 1373526 83 Linux
In partition tables, the locations of the partitions are defined in
two ways:
1: The offset of the partition in sectors and the size of the
partition in sectors. In links to next logical partition, the offset
is calculated relative to the beginning of the extended partition. In
other entries, the offset is calculated relative to the current
partition table sector.
2: The CHS (cylinder/head/sector) addresses of the first and the last
sector in the partition.
Only 10 bits are available for storing the cylinder entry. Then the
maximum number is 1023. Special rules must be followed to make
partition tables compatible both with operating systems that uses the
CHS entries and operating systems that uses the offset/size entries.
By definition, inside an extended partition type 05, the CHS entries
are to be used. This is a fact that has been ignored in Linux
partitioning tools.
In the example another look at the same tables is this:
Cylinders: 1232 Heads: 255 Sectors: 63 MB: 9664
-PCyl N ID -----Rel -----Num ---MB -Start CHS- --End CHS--
0 1*06 2024253 2088387 1019 126 1 1 255 254 63
0 2 07 4112640 4112640 2008 256 0 1 511 254 63
0 3 16 8225280 4112640 2008 512 0 1 767 254 63
0 4 05 16434495 3357585 1639 1023 0 1 1231*254 63
1023 1 82 63 96327 47 1023 1 1 1028*254 63
1023 2 05 96390 2747115 1341 1029* 0 1 1199*254 63
1029 1 83 63 2747052 1341 1029* 1 1 1199*254 63
In the cylinder numbers marked * the actual value in the tables are
1023.
Now this happens:
DOS sees an extended partition beginning CHS 1023/0/1 and loads the
extended partition table at this location.
A Linux swap partition is seen, but ignored, since this is not a FAT
partition. Then there is a link to next extended partition table in
CHS 1023/0/1. DOS loads this partition table, and sees a Linux swap
partition that is ignored, and a link to next extended partition table
in CHS 1023/0/1. This continues until reboot.
This is just an example. To show how the tables were cyclic the actual
cases, it would have been necessary to look at the partition tables
while the problem was present.
Linux tools are able to make cyclic partition tables in different
ways. The problem that DOS cannot boot if the disk is present can
always be solved by changing the type of the extended partition (not
the logical links) to 85 (Linux extended), and in some cases it can be
solved by changing the type to 0F. The type 0F partition is known by
Linux and by DOS from version 7.0 (original Windows 95).

You can put all users who shall have access to this public directory
in one common group, let the public dir be owned by this group
(chown group:user dir), and set the group sticky bit
(chmod g+s dir). So all new files in this dir will belong to the
common group. Now the users have to set a apropriate umask, e.g.
umask ?1? so that their new files will be writeable by the group.
Be carefull. If your users don't have unique gids (i.e. one groupe per
user), _don't_ use this umask, because in this case their new files in
their home dir for example, get group write permissions, and this
group could be "everybody", as is in my university. In this case your
users could set group file permissions explicitly when they create a
new file in the public dir (chmod g+x file).
Hope this helps,
Dirk

You didn't want Linux, or you didn't want delete Linux?
If you *wanted* to delete Linux, you have to invoke "fdisk /mbr" (on a
DOS Prompt) to remove LILO. Then you can create a new partition on
your 2 gigs, again using fdisk, this time without parameters. I think,
you have to create first an extended partition, after that something
like a "logical drive in the extended partition".
If you didn't want to delete Linux, it's more complicated. You could
boot from your installation CD of your distro in rescue mode (most
distros have this feature, I suppose). Start _Linux_ fdisk (an
alternativ is using cfdisk, included in most distros, means
"comfortable fdisk" - and that's what it is!), and recreate the
partition with exact the same settings, i.e. same entry in the
partition table, same size and location (if you know the starting and
ending cylinders of your ex-Linux partition, that would be great
here). Change the partition type to linux (0x83), and with a little
bit of luck, everything is visible on your hdd again.
Hope this helps.
Dirk
