Then thats very interesting! 'Cause before installing linux E: was FAT32, and during installation I chose to format that partition into ext3 so that linux could reside in it. Yet after the installation I found that windows 2000 can see it but couldn't access it. Moreover, everytime I start W2000 it says something about checking drive for inconsistency on E: and that it expects E: to be FAT32.
And like I said in the earlier post, that Windows 98 couldn't see it but Windows 2000 could. I just thought that Windows 2000 is trying to detect it but failed. At the moment it still takes about 10mins to boot up Windows 2000. For some reasons it just stays at the login screen (without the login box, just blue background) for ages. Another dumb problem to be solved is that I couldn't get my Linux to connect to my ISP. It wouldn't dial out. I've added the modem into the Network Settings but it wouldn't activate. Have I missed something out here? I'm using an internal modem. Hansen Nick Rout wrote: > > Nah, nah.
