Re: [newbie] Linux drive disappeared!
I have Winblows98, Linux and Beos 4.5 on my computer and out of the three, I would say that BeOS is the best, but then again, there aren't near as many apps for BeOS as there are for Linux. So, I am using Linux. Of all the Linux Distributions I have tried, Linux-Mandrake is the best for newcomers, and believe me I have tried them ALL. * Original message from: alann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caymen wrote: It is just Microsofts way of saying that WINDOWS is the ONLY OS to have.

Re: [newbie] Linux drive disappeared!
Unless there's a 3rd party utility to do it, you won't. I have Win 98 and Win 2000 sharing a 13G drive and Linux on it's own 5.7G drive. Windows [either flavor] can't see the Linux drive.

Re: [newbie] Linux drive disappeared!
Cool it with the Windoze, eh? They're the only two systems I have that actually work on my machine right now. I had RedHat 6 and then overwrote it with Mandrake. Several folks that I highly respect as programmers have told me that RedHat 6 has so many buggies in it that it makes NT 4.0 look good. They also feel that RedHat 6's masking is either excessively broken or nonexistant. IMHO that's BAD. Even Mandrake is giving me hissy fits. This stupid graphics problem is driving me up the walls and I'm not buying a new monitor because it can't be supported by Linux. Original Message Follows From: brandon [EMAIL PROTECTED] How do I make Windows recognize the Linux drive? Or is there another way to solve this problem?? You don't--the Linux filesystem is a format which is unreadable by Windows. There are some utilities which can read it under Windoze, however. ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
