He had free space - 10gig not partitioned - 1 primary dos 5gig, 1 extended 5 gig with a dos logical within of 5 gig taking up the entire extended partition. After he installed, linux could see the logical dos partition, windows couldn't. He wants a separate partition for his data under dos..... can this be done?

The install would have changed the partition flags from DOS to Linux native and would also have installed the ext2 file system on whatever partition it was installed on. This is as a minimum and does not take account of the possible installtion of a Linux swap partition. Was there free space on the disk before you started? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
