Hi, Here is the list of my hdd and partition configs.
Primary Master HDD: Total 20 gigs: has 2 partitions both Fat32 - 8 gb FAT32 is drive c: - 12 gb FAT32 is drive e: Primary Slave HDD: Total 20 gigs: has 1 Fat32 partition is drive d: I installed Mandrake 8.1 as partitionless to Primary Master HDD to 8gig partition. Grub is in charge of boot loading now. I got my windows 98 in the Primary Slave HDD. The problem is , when I boot and swap the harddrives with map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) I can see and access both drives; drive C: that is hd0,0 and drive D: that is hd1,0. However, even I see the drive letter "E" from dos programmes, I can not access to drive E: that is hd0,1 It is a 12gb FAT32 partition, dos Fdisk sees the drive logically as e: but reports the logical drive filesystem as unknown. THIS PROBLEM ONLY happens when drives are swapped with map method. When I boot win98 via GRUB without swapping drives, I can access to my drive e: I tried to use the -unhide option and lots of stuff, but as a newbie could not do anything. One more thing when I get the geometry, the GRUB shows the partition as hd0,4. However, when I try to unhide hd0,4 , it says there is no such partition... Please help, what commands should I use to access my Fat32 partition? Thanks...
