What you are doing is fiddling with the partition type in the partition table. If you make your linux partition a "hidden" partition, then windows won't find it, and it will be happy. If you forget to "unmap" it before booting linux, you will get interesting error/warning/info messages. If you map your windows partition to 0x81 (or whatever), then boot linux and run fdisk on the disk windows is on, you won't see the partition as "fat32". -D -- He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.
