Which is more than understandable given your current workload...

Was the w2k partition NTFS or FAT32?
Mine is a FAT32 win98 partition. Partman mounts this just fine. If I do
this, however, the described problem occurs.
Is there a difference between mounting partitions manually and in
partman? When exactly does the OS detection code kick in? Is there any
sharing of information between partman and the OS detection code?
I can do some more testing tonight (Sydney time) if required (and if
someone tells me what to test), not with w2k though. :-( Unfortunately,
I will be out of town and away from computers for the week, back on the
weekend.
Cheers
Andree
