I would go to Linux and run fdisk. Bring up the partition list and see
how the "missing" partition is typed. I would guess that for some
reason it is no longer marked as a fat32 partition. If that's the case,
then change the type so that it is, save the change, and reboot.
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE!
Good luck! --doug

7.1 yesterday and when I rebooted the computer into windows, The partition
of windows that contains all of my personal files was gone! Confused, I
went back into Mandrake and the partition was still present with all
information. I don't know why I can't see it under Windows.
