Linux is installed on a separate physical drive (d:) from Win '95 (c:). I
have part of the d: drive partioned as windows, but I am not in love with
anything in those partitions. I should have just kept the whole d: as linux.
I am more concerned at this point with maintaining the data in my linux
partitions. I appreciate your help!
thanks,
Mike Crimmins
