I have installed Mandrake 7.0 dual booting with Windows 98. Both were fine. I was even able to drag files from my Windows partition into my Linux partition. While using Linux, my computer locked up so I rebooted my computer. When booting up into Linux everything was being listed as O.K.,O.K.,O.K. except for a "Failed" for the Dos partition, saying things like "wrong fs type" and "bad super block" ect. Linux booted O.K and worked fine except I couldn't access any files from the Windows partition as I could before. When I rebooted the computer into DOS, I found DOS worked O.K but when I executed Windows it told me it couldn't do it because HIMEM.sys wasn't found. When I did a "dir" of the windows directory I found that the HIMEM.sys was listed. When I went back to Linux I "mmount /dev/hda1" then it told me that /dev/hda1 was busy. When I "umount /dev/hda1" it told me that /dev/hda1 didn't exist. What should I do to get my Windows partition back running again?
