Actually, I had four primary partitions at the time of the do wah ditty;

1.  DR-DOS
2.  Windoze 98
3.  Linux swap
4.  Linux Mandrake 7.2

NAh, I have created the same primary line-up as noted and Windoze will
not "see" that first partition as before.

Strange that I had to force Linux to root out the 1st partition in order
to put it on the desktop as a linked icon after installing Linux. ??

Oh well, two steps forward and 1 1/2 back...

Thank you for the reply.
