That's rigth ! It already happened to me some months ago(year !?).
I resolve it adding to the config.sys the following line:
LASTDRIVE=D
'D' need to be your last FAT16/FAT32 partition drive letter!!! Don't count the
linux
partitions!
After that, check also on "Control Panel" which drive letter are being
assigned for
your cdrom(if you have one) and change it for the next from used on "lastdrive"
parameter.
It could not resolve your problem. For me, it worked.

It's a Microsoft problem and not a GNU/Linux problem.
Hope this help.
