Hi Mikkel,
Thanks for your advice. After having Window partition mounted
typed
# cfdisk (at root. Also tried cd /mnt/win98)
Warning:
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 4: partition ends after end-of-disk
Press any key to exit cfdisk.
Could not proceed further. Any idea to rectify?
Thanks in advance.
(Remark: One thing I forgot to post.
The partition was made with a MSWin98 boot/rescue disk. Linux was installed
first and MSWindows98 afterwards, therefore MSWindow98 resides in hda3)
B.R.
Stephen
