RE: Win98 cannot see 2nd fat32 partition after mandrake 7.1 install(fwd)

will soon.
Anyone recommend a way to fix it (running old fips and rewrite the partition
table ?)
>From what I have heard, you can see those partitions from Linux.
As much as I know, those people already had the disk partitioned, they just
formatted one part to ext2 and one to swap.
