(i assume that the unknown partition is a primary and your former D part. is a logical drive) so win nt re-assigns the drive letters - making the first 2 primary partitions C and D and then following your partition with your windows nt apps. 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) hth --quay
