Hello, I have a winme and win2k on the 1st HDD, and linux with 2 more FAT32 partition installed on second hdd. The problem is after I boooting to WIN2K, it sees my linux partition as empty drive. That 's fine but I wanted to change the drive letters for the drive on which the LINUX exists(to make lniux partition letter last and other logical partitions letters are all before LINUX), but I Could n't get to teh disk management console. It stuck with the message "Connecting to Logical Disk Manager". Is there any known fix to this problem? THanks!

Goto services and make sure the Logical Disk Manager services are started.
I have mine stopped by default, for performance reasons

It sounds like you want to see the Linux partition in Windows. That is not an option available. Windows can not read a Linux partition. You can boot to Linux and see the Windows partitions though. That is the way Windows was designed.
As a result there is no way to assign a drive to the partition or see it from a Windows desktop.
