I have one hard disk, containing Win98 and Linux; the partition layout
is as follows:
c: fat32 65Gb Primary hda1
* extended 35Gb Primary hda2
d: fat32 35Gb Logical hda5
/ linux-ext2 15Gb Primary hda4
swap linux-swap .7Gb Primary hda3
In Win98 drives f: - v: are virtual CD-Roms, drive z: is a DVD-Rom.
My problem is that drive E: appears to be visible to Win98. (On trying
to access E: command prompt says 'Not ready reading drive E:' instead
of 'Invalid drive specification') This leads to several complications
requiring work-arounds I won't go into here.
Is there a way of fixing the partition tables so that Win98 does not
detect e: (presumably the 15Gb linux partition) as existing?
PS: I hope this is an appropriate place to ask about disk partitions.
If there is somewhere better, please let me know.
