Thank you for your help... But I did have to reformat my hard drive. I
tried what you said but it did not work, not because your idea did not work
but because of mandrake. It seems that mandrake takes over all other
partitions and adds them to each partition. for example.
if you look at it through fdisk (windows) you would see
c: fat32
1 non-dos
but under cfdisk
/dev/hda windows95
/dev/hda2 windows95
/dev/hda5 swap
/dev/hda7 ext2
/dev/hda8 ext2
For some reason everything from hda2 down was compressed into the none dos.
Go figure... But thank you. I'm very sure it has to do with the mandrake
install.
