- Whenever I repartition, I make sure and run dos's fdisk and just reset
- the dos partition to active. This will strore the information on
- the partition sectors again and dos will recognize your new size.
- For some reason the fdisk with linux will repartition correctly, but
- dos won't recognize the new sizes until it's own fdisk is ran.
