Gaaa! No, windows has never been on these disks. There is a linux fdisk. In fdisk partitions can be marked as bootable (as long as they are primary partitions). The disk is not bootable in the sense that there is a valid Operating System on it, it is used as a data disk. I'm attempting to install GRUB on it because it is the only disk that the BIOS will see as bootable.
