I doono if anyone can help
be about this one. I installed Linux on
a very old computer, found out that I didn't have room for all of the
important programs, ie g++ and make, so I decided to go back to DOS.
Problem is that when I did it I didn't remove the swap partition in
Linux and fdisk refuses to monify it in any way. Now I have a
201 meg
DOS partition, and a 30 meg unusable extended DOS partition according
to
fdisk. Does anybody know how to retrieve the lost 30 megs?

yeah, get ahold of partition magic, even buy it if you have to, it's one
of the best programs there is for this sort of thing. or maybe even fips
will work, but i've ever tried it myself.
in Partition Magic you can simply just delete the swap partition and
add it to your existing DOS partition by using the sliders and resizing
it.
or in fdisk you should just be able to delete it, but you'll probably
end up with an extra drive letter you don't want when you wanted it combined
