Not really off-topic this. We all hit this problem sooner or later. What 
happened
is that NT has left NT partitions in the extended one. Windows is jst being
pedantic and refusing to recognise them. Use the Linux version of fdisk (the
install will run it as part of the process). The Linux version will see all 
the partitions
whether it knows what's in them or not. *I like software that trusts me*

You need IPX installed in the kernel. Stock RedHat kernels usually include 
it.
You can then use ncpfs tools or the Caldera netware client (if you can 
install
it) to mount NetWare volumes and Printers. If you need to emulate a NetWare
server, mars-nwe is a pretty good file and printer sharer for NetWare.
