Windows thinks I have an EZ-Drive partition? |

I'm using parted 1.4.14 on Red Hat 7.1, on a system where it's dual-booting
with Windows ME, using LILO. I did a resize on a 6-gig fat32 partition
(primary, hda1, type 0xc, and bootable)... Actually I just shrank it to 5 gig.
I rebooted after that, as per parted's advice.
This partition happens to be my Windows ME C: drive. In Linux, everything
seems to work smoothly w/ the partition, etc. The partition type is correct
(0xc), as well. From Linux, I can read everything that's in the drive..
However, I can't boot up in windows anymore, as it says "Invalid system
disk..." I ran partition magic's boot disk, and it thinks that the partition
is of type 0x55 (EZ-Drive).
So, any ideas about what went wrong? Or, at least a way to fix the problem
without having to reinstall windows. I'm not aware of how windows checks the
partition type, because I used to think it was the same way linux does. If
only I could just change the contents of whatever windows reads...
Any help would be appreciated. thanks. :)
Paul
