A friend wanted to dual boot with linux and her already installed windows 98. She installed Mandrake 7.0, but it was the early version with the buggy resize in DiskDrake and so her windows partition got destroyed in the resizing. Now we can't get windows fdisk is work to put her windows back. I've tried booting with a linux rescue disk and deleting all the partitions. Rebooting, but when I delete add or view partitions in windows fdisk (two different versions) it just hangs. I tried making a win95 32bit partition (full size, 8gig) in linux and that works. I can copy files, but windows won't see it. I did fdisk /mbr and no luck. I made a 1gig dos partition and formated it, no dice. By default the hard drive is sectors=63, cylinders=1099 heads=64. I went to the bias and saw a second configuration with heads=15 and tons of cylinders. I repeated all the above sets with linux fdisk with those hd settings, but still no luck. This is a new sony lapton and I get do a hard drive wipe from the bias. Any ideas?
