-
- You have an extended partition with a linux swap followed by a dos partition
- I'm not sure if dos is going to like this!
-
- try the following
- 1) make sure you have only 1 partition marked as bootable
- 2) arrange your partition table as follows
- hda1: DOS (1)
- hda2: extended (5)
- hda3: linux (81)
- hda4: swap (82)
- hda5: dos (1)
