do you run some sort of "disk compression" ? I remember that drivespace or something like that, as well as "stacker" created a hidden drive for the compression info,
as to why window$ can not (should not?) see the contents of the drive and linux can? Linux works right, M$ winders works the way M$ wants. just my opinion. and no, I can not see why _you_ dual boot, ( I do know why _I_ dual boot, and I probly even got you beat for "perverse" hard drive and cdrom arangement and excuses... but let's not go there) since the url would only come up if I was a registered user of mandrake-expert, I believe.
