I think my last msg on this got lost. Trying again:

Decided to enlarge my Windows partition and reinstall Mandrake 7.2

Used PQ Partiion magic to delete Linux partition, enlarge Windows partiton
and create new Linux EXT2 and swap.

Installed Mandrake and let disk Drake format the new ext and swap partiton.
It is a 12 gig drive and I am using 6 for windows, ramainder for Linux.

Install went fine until restart where it hung....

Restarted with power swtich, got Grub, chose Linux and as it loads I get "
partition check
hda: general protection fault:0000

then several lines of hex I can't decifer, then it stops!

Windows boots fine from Grub.

I had this working fine last month when I installed Mandrake the first time.

Need to save windows, so can't do a total format.
