Perhaps I could be of help. I have a promise fasttrak 100 lite with partitions created by both windows and Linux, except dmraid seems to fail completely for me. I sent a "dmraid -rD" dump to Heinz and would be happy to send one to anybody else interested.

I lost Vrjan's system for testing (he had to go back to studies 150%) but I think I got enough information on his problem to continue on. I would use my own system but all the drives have been partitioned under Linux so the problem doesn't show up. What I need is some partitioning information from anyone useing windows 98, NT-XX, 2000, or XP to boot their system. The partitioning needs to have been done by the OS that is running on the drive and it needs to be dual booted with Linux. This does not need to be a RAID system. Would be especially interested in NTFS, since it was what Vrjan was running. I will need the following: A dd of the first sector of your boot drive as below dd if=/dev/your-boot-drive of=/anywhere/anything.bin count=1 and a linux fdisk list of your partitions (p command). Tar.gz these and attach them to an email telling which OS they came from and send it off to my email address. That's all, I shouldn't have to bother you again.
