I've installed GAG to dual boot on several machines.
I ALREADY INSTALLED LINUX AND WINDOWS TO DUAL BOOT ON THE 40GB DISK . Windows cannot read the 160GB drive (even if i use the disk management) linux can only read it using the partioning tool....and yes i urgently need the data , thanks for your reply.
