sfdisk reported that the problem was between hda6 and hda9. I used
fdisk to remove the Linux partions and now I'm e-mailing from Windows

The problem seems to be that diskdrake on Linux-Mandrake 7.0 doesn't
understand large disks. It wrote the faulty partitions at any rate.
Oh, well, at least I got my Windows partition back. Thanks for the
