Hi This is what I understand, correct me if I am wrong. You have a running linux machine with two additional disks hde and hdg. These additional disks have non-Linux data (windows OS). hde and hdg are of each 20G. Your disks hde and hdg are properly connected. Your fdisk reports 40G for hde1. In your FastTrack BIOS (Cntrl+F) at boot time, it is possible that you spanned the two disks hde and hdg together. If so, try mirror or stripe instead of span in the FastTrack BIOS.
