I think the problem is the partition type of the extended partition. I guess you create a extended partition with type 5 (Extended) or 85 (Linux extended). But for Windows, you should create a extended partition with type f (Win95 Extended LBA). Change your sda2 partition type to f. (I guess sda2 is your extended partition) And re-created sda5, then re-format sda5 with vfat may helps you solve this problem. > -- > William > > ((email . "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") > (blog .
