yep, finally something great today! :-)  I can see ALL my partitions, 
actually, using a Windows boot floppy, I can also ACCESS them, but my old 
C: is now D: and vice versa, so I cannot boot Windows !!

I HAVE already a boot manager (Boot Magic), but I cannot access it.. that 
means, it does NOT start. I had installed it under Windows. But I didn`t 
know I could install it under Linux, as well... ?!

so, my main problem is now to EXCHANGE the current drive D: with the drive 
C: so that I could run windows. My partitions seem fine... I can see 
PRI-DOS using fdisk.
