<linux/windows trouble>

How did you repartition?
What steps did you take(starting from an empty disk)?

It should have been :

partition HDD for windows and linux

install windows in hda1 (in windows terms C:)

###################################################################
if your windows is an OEM version, it may ignore the partitiontable
completely and occupy the entire disk. If so, use a FAT FS for windows
and use parted (or Partition Magic if you have it) to resize the
partition and the filesystem.

Create the partitions for linux. Again only if needed as this should
preferably be done before the first OS is installed.
###################################################################

install linux.
