Linus Hello Shlomi, at the time i wrote you that i have a problem installing linux on a on hard disk with two win partition. The problem was that after the installation only one win partition was identified by win. after your letter i got many answers, they were rather complicated. the best and simplest way to solve the problem is of course installing another hard drive on your computer just for LINUX. the other solution that worked for me was: 1. divide the hard disk to: one primary FAT32 partition + one big empty space. 2. install win98. 3. install linux (mandrake7.1) and leave empty space for the second win partition after linux. 4. use partition magic to make a second primary FAT32 partition (only this way it's possible to make 2 primary fat32 partitions and avoiding the program to switch between the 2 drive letters) on the rest of the empty space. 5. win98 recognize automatically the second FAT32 partition but you have to mount manually this drive in LINUX. 6. enjoy !!!
