I had installed linux on my 80GB samsung hdd by making partitions with win98 fdisk

1.Primary dos- 20 GB

2.Extended dos 40 GB

3. 2 logical drives 20 gb each in extended partition

THen i started linux 9 installation i had to manually create linux partitions /root, /home, /dev, user.......................... and use that left 20 gb.

i had installed win98 on primary dos and win 2000 on a logical drive.

Things were fine at first , boot sequence was

Linux Grub> Linux
Dos > Win 2000
WIN 98

tHEN LINUX GOT CORRUPTED.............

i USED LINUX 7.3 INSTALLATION DISK TO DELETE LINUX PARTITION, tHEN AFTER REBOOT MY HDD WAS DOOMED
i HAD LOST MY WIN 2000, AND OTHER LOGICAL DRIVE.....

i TRIED WIN98 STARTUP DISK : FDISK , IT WAS SHOWING 33 gb IN TOTAL...

i HAD SEND IT TO MY PC CONSULTANT AND HE contacted samsung even they have failed.....
