Hello Sir,
I was installign Mandrake 8.2 Linux on a FAT 32 partition of my system. Previously I was running Win98 SE on my C: and wanting to installed mandrake 8.2 on D: (which was empty with 16 GB of free space - FAT 32) with dual boot option. But Due to some installation problem (unknowingness of the nitty gritties of LINUX) I had to exit the setup in a mid way. Now my system shows only 8 GB of space on D:, whereas it was 16 GB. Actually at one place I allocated 8 GB for LINUX during Installation.

Please help me to get back my free space (16 GB) on D:.

With regards,

When did you quit Mandrake Linux installation? After allocating HDD space or

Did you try fdisk? Did that help? Check the link below, try with Ranish Partition Manager. See if it detects any Linux related partitions...

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your reply. As you wanted to know, about the timings, I halted the installation after allocating disk space from my empty D: (windows is on C. now I only see remaining space ie. minus space allocated for Linux.
please help me out. I haven't tryied FDISK or some thing else.

Np.

If you havent tried Fdisk then try it. That could help. Do this -

Start->Run->fdisk [enter]

Press Y. Then select the 3rd option to Delete Partition or Logical DOS Drive . Then the 4th option Delete Non-DOS Partition.

Hope you're familiar with the Fdisk tool.

Download Ranish PM too and see if it detects any Linux partitions.
