Ouch. I used Mandrake 8.0... It seems my hda 6 os overlapping my hda4.
If I delete my extended partition, restart to windows and use dos fdisk
to create a new d:, there is the risk of this d: overwriting something
more important than my evolution install. I'm going to try this anyway.
I can always set up a swap *file* instead.
Partition table:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 523 4200966 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2 524 525 16065 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 526 2647 17044965 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 2648 3736 8747392+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 2648 2713 530113+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda6 2714 3736 8217216 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
Please cc to me, I'm not on the list.
