Hi Stephen,
I decided to install SuSE v6.4 on Igor and used YaST to change unused HD partitions to type 83 from vfat. The SuSE installation proceeded without incident. However when I rebooted the machine into Win95 I found that the
Two ideas. One, you mention you changed the vfat partition to type 83 (Linux swap, right?). (1) Unless you plan to over write the vfat partition (i.e. get rid of Windows), you should leave it set to vfat or vfat 32, IIRC, 12 or 12b. (2) While this probably doesn't effect your Windows problem, do you really want 83, or ext2 (which I believe is 82). I too have PowerDesk, and have not run into such a problem, however if you've changed the partition type for the FAT 16/32 partition, that probably would do it (if it would even boot).
I do believe this is a Windows problem. It thinks the partition should be there but it's not so Explorer hangs. I believe a little registry or fdisk editing is in order but since I don't use Windows much any more I don't remember what needs to be done.
