How do I check it? any idea ?
% dd if=/dev/hda of=/path/to/some/file bs=256
check the contents of the /path/to/some/file
checked the contents as suggested by u .. it shows some junk chars in the file, i.e the first 256 bytes are not zeroed out...
I can afford to repartition and reinstall the Linux as well as Windows parts .. How shud I make partitions ? As mentioned earlier,on a10gb hdd, i want to have 6gb and 2gb partitions to be kept for Win98 and the last one to be kept for Linux.. Shud I keep the second 2gb Fat32 partition as an extended one ? Thanks a lot in advance.
