Unlike XP, which doesn't see the Linux patittions at all, the Vista saw the partitions, and if you click on them in My Computer it will offer to format them for you. The notebook was setup for a student that got it for Christmas, and Vista Ran on it like a Dog, so we set it up with dual boot. That worked fine except for the wireless card. Then here sister was using the machine in windows, and for some reason, she clicked on the the Linux Partitions, and formated them. Then the machine wouldn't bot anything, since Grub was gone. Redid machine in Fedora8 only now. I don't have any access to Vista, but wonder if there is a way to make Vista not see the Linux partitions to prrevent this. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
