Hi Tony,
thanks for the suggestion.
I must admit that, having installed the Linux partition just yesterday I could loose
it and re-install without too many troubles.
What I'm worried about is that, if PM is right, something crazy like a partition
overlapping has happened and I could end up, when filling one of the two partitions,
with trashing the other one and loosing some meaningful data.
BTW, how have you solved the problem?
While we are at it, If I should decide to re-install Linux from scratch, which is the
best way to get rid of LILO and reset the XP boot process? Are the XP utilities to fix
MBR OK?
Thanks
Paolo

Paolo,
Ignore the error message from PM, if you try and fix it you can hose your Linux
installation (I did a long time ago).
Tony.

Subject: [newbie] After installing 10.0 Partition Magic from XP says

Hi all,
Sorry if I re-post, but the original message had no subject :-(
I've just installed Mandrake 10.0 on my PC.
The system has two disks, on disk 1 I just left the original Windows Xp partition, on
disk 2 (bigger and faster) I have freed some 11gb from XP with Partition Magic.
I've installed Mandrake 10.0 in expert mode, I got it to install in the free space,
making two partitions: one of 10gb for '/' and a 1gb swap partition. Result after
partitioning: 70GB NTFS - 10GB Ext3 - 1GB Swap
Installation went OK.
Now I can access with LILO both the XP installation and the Mandrake one and
everything works fine.
The main problem I have is that if I launch Partition Magic from XP, PM shwos for disk
2 with a single partition and says it is a damaged one. I suspect some partition
overlap but I'm not sure on how to move
Any suggestion?
Thanks
