Based on the responses I got to my question, I've become aware I need to clarify the problem. Windows and Linux have no problem at all seeing the new 7-gig DOS partition and accessing it (in Windows's case, as drive E). The problem is, Windows now ALSO sees a 3-gig drive D, which I'm guessing is the Linux drive as double-clicking it in Windows gives the 'this device isn't ready' error and the size is about right. It then tries to Scandisk it on startup, which I want to not have happen for obvious reasons.
What version of Windows?
Did I mess something up in the change of partitioning, or is there some other problem here?
What does the Dos fdisk show you, or is this Windows XP. Whichever, I have never seen a Windows machine assign a drive letter to a partition formatted with a file system it cannot read (but then again Micro$oft is not so consistent :). What exactly IS your Linux file system? Sorry, no real answers, just more questions. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
