[wellylug] partition table + win2k/linux/Seagate Disk Manager

[Rose McGillicuddy]

Hi,
I haven't seen all of this thread so might be irreleveant.

When the recent install of Win 95 and mandrake was done onto my Seagate 
20Gb hard drive some software had to be downloaded from the Seagate site 
to get the partitions of a decent size.  Prior to that fdisk would only 
recognise up to 8 Gb of the drive.  Maybe of no use to you though :-)
