Hi Franklin,
That's where you went wrong, using a M$ FDISK ! :-)
i've never used their FDISK, currently still using Partition Magic/2 
V3.05.302 in addition[/in place of]  to LVM. Previousl to PQPM used OS/2 
FDISK, prior to that DR-DOS 5/6/7, and prior to that DMS - Disk 
Management Services - which had a neat feature which would allow you to 
have 16 partitions, and you could selectively hide them/make them 
password protected or Read-0nly.

After taking Bill Gates' MBasic apart a quarter of a century ago, and 
seeing the absolutely lousy code in it [especially the math routines] - 
there was no way I'd use their FDISK!
