Don't want this thread to get too OT with regard to non linux OS's but
thought someone may have a quick answer. I added linux (pclinuxos) to
a system that was already dual booting win98se & win2k (both fat32).
All three OS's are booting OK but I think the partition table may have
got slightly corrupted as win98 is now showing an extra zero length D
drive and has moved win2k to F. I originally used hda5 for the linux
root but had trouble getting lilo to map it so changed it to a primary
partition on hda3 with the swap on extended hda5:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 974 7823623+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 975 2922 15647310 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3 * 2923 4746 14651280 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 4747 4870 996030 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 4747 4870 995998+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Anyone know how to get rid of the erroneous D drive in win98?
