The
only thing that would cause this, is if Linux activated UDMA/66 (or 100) on a
UDMA capable drive that was only working at UDMA/33 or below under

Certain drives, onceset to UDMA/66
continue to attempt to operate in this mode, even through a power
off.

I would suggest you get a Windows98 boot disc with fdisk and delpart
First you boot form floppy, then you make delpart to loose everything on

and this is the response I received from Powerquest Partition

I'm not 100% sure I understand your problem correctly, but no where in this
text do you mention running DOS fdisk command to resetup DOS partitions for
windows support. I'm not that familiar with the linux form of fdisk but at

I was very impressed. I am up and running now without a
