Hi > On install of mdk 7.2 (final?), Diskdrake ate my Windows 2000 partition - > any suggestions? I did an expert install on a 13GB drive where Windows > occupied the first half of the drive.

An error message popped up (nothing discriptive) and then all > my partitions were gone. Its not a general problem anyway, I have a tripple boot, Win2K / Win98 / Mandrake. With Win98 / Win2K installed and 'working', I started 7.2 installk, deleted my old 7.1 partitions with disk-drake, then marked up the mount points, formated and installed 7.2. Config: 20GB SCSI HD: Prim1: Win2K NTFS (2GB) Prim2: Win98 FAT32 (1GB) Prim3: Linux /boot ext2 (30MB) Extended1: Win2K NTFS (4GB) Extended2: Linux / ext2 (1GB) Extended3: Linux /usr ReiserFS (8GB) Extended4: Linux /home ReiserFS (2GB) Extended5: Shared Files Drive (FAT32) (2GB) Win2K and 98 still work afterwards.
