Charles,
I just repartitioned that drive that I was having problems with. I put the swap
partition at the end of the drive and the windows partition at the beginning.
All of my problems have disappeared. Windows always recognizes that drive now.
Maybe it's because it is a large drive, I don't know. I just know that that
solved my problems. Running dual with Windows 98 SE, and ML 7.0.
