There is a script on the Mandrake site that will fix your problem. You
most likely did the auto install and it puts your D drive inside a Linux
partition. it is still there, you just can't access it. I can't give you
the URL where the script is at because my machine crashed when my floppy
went out and it looks like I'm just going to have to re-install and take
the loss. Maybe someone else on the list can give you the URL.
