I have a notebook that dual boots Fedora 8 and Vista. Both the

My fairly new laptop came with Vista, and I added Fedora to it, and
Ubuntu. My Vista doesn't notice the Linux partitions in the Windows
Explorer file browser, either.

I wonder if the original poster's problem might be down to the partition
types being set as a Windows type, but reformatted into a Linux type. I
would expect Windows to see that as a partition to be further worked on.

My partition types are set to the same type as they're actually
formatted as.
