Really? Hmm...I've always read that you stand a better
chance of making your Linux partition visible to Windows if
you create the "extended" partition that Linux resides in
with Windows FDISK. Now, I agree one should make Windows
partitions with Windows FDISK. I simply meant that I'd
heard one should not create partitions for LINUX with
Windows FDISK. :-)
