Thanks for the suggestions.  I have solved the problem now - linux is
loading as it should.  However, I still have 5Gb of
unpartitioned/unformatted hard disk space, and since I already have
four primary partitions I am not sure what to do with it.  My hard
disk is partitioned as follows:

hda1 - Windows (NTFS)
hda2 - Linux (/boot)
hda3 - Linux (swap)
hda4 - Linux extended
  hda5 - Linux (/) logical partition of hda4

The unpartitioned space lies between hda1 and hda2.

How can I arrange this (using fpart or something) so that the free
space is part of the extended partition (I take it they still need to
be contiguous on disk) Can an extended partition contain a ext3 part
and a FAT32 part?

Thanks,
Oliver
