This would probably be a parted issue if anything. I have not heard of this problem occurring before your report. We do not mount non-Linux partitions at anytime I can think of during an install. Did you happen to put your D: drive in Disk Druid as a mount point? This shouldn't matter but might help us diagnose the problem. Hi, I later found out that my D: drive had actually become E: under Win 98. Before installing Redhat 9.0 I had C: and D: for windows. After I installed Linux suddenly Win98 showed me 3 drives: C: D: and E:. D: is not a Windows partition at all, and running fdisk in MS-DOS shows only 2 FAT32 partition named c: and d:. The good thing is I did not loose my data, and I know the problem is with Win98 (even though it was triggered by RedHat 9.0 install). Indeed I decided to buy a new hard drive and installed WinXP on it. Then I put back my previous drive as slave and WinXP saw only 2 Windows partition where Win98 used to see 3 of them... So I think we can probably close this issue. Thanks, Emmanuel. Glad to hear things are OK now! |
