Yes, due to the fact that NT could not retrieve any information on the filesystem or the size of the second primary NTFS-partition. It could, however, recognize the partioning data after setting linux ext2 to type 5. The filesystem stayed unknown. > > under win NT ---- arent u able to "hide" the unknown partitions ? > or - assign the unknown partition another drive letter than D ? It does not look like a letter assignment issue to me. NT doesn't assign any letter except from C, since it is not able to identify the filesystems on the remaining partitions as long as LiLo is in operation. > (i assume that the unknown partition is a primary and your > former D part. > is a logical drive) No, it is a second primary labeled as unknown when LiLo active. > u could also try to re-install linux - installing it *not* to > a primary, > but secondary(logical) partition (i think it should be > possible - consult > your manual) OK, I'll RTFM. Linux is still working smoothly when I reinstall LiLo which spoils NT operations, so I won't reinstall Linux, I guess. Thanks quay. Andreas
