Hey,
first of all, you shouldn't use linux's fdisk to fix problems on system
partitions of other OS's.
What I would do if I where you, is that I would use dos's fdisk to redo
my other partitions, and would reformat them. Also, I had the HELL of a
bad time with maxtor drives (I have a 6.4G to). I think they are highly
unstable (I have a Quantum 3.2 that never crashed, and bought a new
maxtor. I had to change the maxtor drive 3 times in two months, and the
maxtor distributor who solde me the drive has no idea why, he even broke
one in front of me while trying to replace o broken one).
Papi
