SuSE v6.3 on a pentium with a 20 GB HD (along with two others) installed as the primary slave. I want to change the type of the last three partitions on the 20 GB HD (it's partitioned into 10 DOS partitions) from DOS to Linux (I have RH v6.1 on one of the other HDs on the platform) in order to install v6.3. I had started the process yesterday and was about half way through the install when there was a power failure and the machine rebooted into W95. At that point I discovered that W95 wasn't reading the changed partition table. I use PowerDesk 4.0 on that machine (on both of my machines as a matter of fact, although first on Igor, the pentium) because of the unexplained failure of the original MS file manager. If I go back into YaST and change the linux partitions back to DOS, PowerDesk will read the restored partitions, after reformatting ( with the new feature of not supporting long file names) as before. I would appreciate some insight and pointers, as to what I'm doing, or failing to do! Thanks in advance. Stephen P.
