Larry, I do not have the expertise to explain this in a valid technical manner...but I have went through the same drill...and discovered this. you do not need the maxblast software for Linux...Linux addresses the disc differently... get rid of the maxblast put the MS system below the bios cutoff point as long as the bios can reach linux boot ,Linux will read the rest of the 20G . I have no overlay program and use the whole 20G....linux will see it microsoft will not. If you need more details, fire me a mail ..I cannot explain the methods used by the two systems but I can make it work. -- Olly P.........
