Can you ghost ntfs partitions? I din't know it worked with that format.
Easiest with a Win98 (FAT 16 or 3
Hmm, one last suggestion. What if he goes in with linux fdisk and uses
the t command to change the extended partition's type to 5, which is what fdisk
and disk druid expect. Then he should be able to see the logical partitions,
and install linux. If windows barf, then change the type back to 0
OH OK..

I use it to shrink partitions with doze in it all the time. I thought

Hi, all,
thanks for all the answers. unfortunately i used fdisk which came with my
old window95/windows/command , guess that's why disk druid didn't see all
the logical partition inside the extended partition. Now i have a problem,
i already install windows98 and NT and everything's configurated

What did you use to partition the drive?

Hi,
After seeing everybody's answers to this, I have one question.
Are the partitions inside your extended partition FAT32 by any chance?
If so, that is probably your problem. My suggestion is that you use Partition
Magic.

Couldn't you just use fips to get however much of the drive that you
want back for linux? Thats what I have always done to drives already

hi y'all,
i posted this message once already, and i really need help on it.
here it goes:
i have a 10gig harddrive and i partion it into C D E F G H I drives and
left drive I for LInux (2 gig). I had already install Win98 and WinNT on
the system. Before i worry about getting the tri-boot setup,
NO, it does not, it only show the primary partition and extented
partition, and doesn't show anything in the logical partition. I had
delete the partion of "I" drive and it still doesn't show anything on disk
druid.
feed me more info! please!
