Subject: [scottish] adding DOS partition
Should DOS partitions be placed at the start of hard disks?
I dual boot between win98/linux and win98 is on the primary master
ide disk. I had Linux running on the 2ndry slave.
I replaced the slave disk running Linux and installed mandrake 8.
I partitioned a disk and added a 5Gb win98 FAT32 partition at the
end of the disk. When I boot to windows and run fdisk I cannot add
the this 5Gb partition as a drive under windows. fdisk can see that
there is a spare unallocated 5Gb partition at the end of the disk
but tries to verify/add the Linux partition.
Do I have to start again and create the win98 FAT32 partition at the
start of the disk or is there a way to add this 5Gb to win98?
