Help!!

I used Partition Magic 5.0 to collapse my 5 Fat32 partitions to make
room a Linux Install.  I reduced the size of each Fat32 partition and
moved the free space to the end and created a linux partition.

Windows (C:) boots and I can see everything on the drive.  I see drives
D:, E:, F:, and G: but cannot access them from W98 or MSDOS.

BUT I can see and access these drives from Linux.  And they show up in
Partition Magic and Partinfo which i can run from a disk.

Partinfo shows C: and D?, E?, etc.  Do the question marks instead of
colons have any significance?

If I can not access these drives in W98, I am thinking (I can burn them
to CDs in Linux and copy them back to the themselves after reformatting
the drives.  Is this possible?  What would I use to do this in Mandrake
10.0?

Thanks
Preston
