Linux fdisk can change the "partition type" flag. If you can get
hold of a bootable linux diskette (check your public library for
linux books with CD's in the back or download a boot diskette
image off the internet), boot to a command prompt and run fdisk.
Select "t" and then the partition number (usually "1" for Windows
partitions) and change the type from "b" to "5" or whatever it is
you need.
Partition Magic v4.01 includes a GUI partition table editor
(DOS and Windows versions; no native OS/2 unfortunately) that
can change partition type for you also.
