My hard drive used to have 4 partitions. The first partition was NTFS with WIN2003 installed, and the other partitions were for data.
A few days ago I wanted to install Linux as well, so I thought of SystemCommand, but it doesn't work with NTFS. I had no choice but to split the first partition into two. Also, I felt the sizes of the next two partitions weren't suitable, so I broke them up as well and repartitioned them into 3 partitions.
Now my partition 1 is an active FAT32 partition with DOS7.0 installed;
partition 2 is NTFS with 2003 installed;
partition 3 is the old partition 2, unchanged;
partitions 4, 5, and 6 are the old partitions 3 and 4.
All of the partitions were done under DOS using PQMagic6.0. Now System Command can be used too, and my two systems are DOS and WIN2003.
But now under DOS I can see all partitions except the NTFS partition. However, under WIN2003 I can't see partitions 4, 5, and 6 at the end.
Bye the way! WIN2003 was reinstalled, and that was before I created partitions 4, 5, and 6!
What's going on here??? AND how do I solve it???
Thanks!

Just now I checked the properties of "Disk drives" in the "Device Manager" in WIN2003, and after refreshing "Volumes" I could see the missing partitions. But their "File system" all shows RAW.
I just checked with DiskMan under DOS and found that the partitions are all there, and they're all FAT32.
But I still can't find them in WIN2003!

Oh right, I found that DiskMan, PQMagic, and DOS commands can all see those partitions at the end.
But GHOST can't see them!!!
In GHOST, the visible partitions are the same as in WIN2003!
Why is this?

Could it be that the later partitions are non-standard, so ghost can't recognize them? Try converting them with PQ or something.
