lost part of partition on installation

[bvrr]

I recently installed Mandrake 8.0 dual boot with W98.
W98 is on my C: drive, Linux is on a seperate hard drive (D: drive.)
Somehow my 6MB C: drive (with W98) is now only 2.5MB.
I cannot see the other 3.5MB... even when running Partition Magic 6.0.
How can I reclaim the lost 3.5MB of my C: drive?

The information you have provided does not make sense.

In Linux, login as root, and enter the following command:
/sbin/fdisk -l

Post the output of the command here.

Obviously you've mistaken GB for MB :D

Anyway, on w/ your quest. Explore PartitionMagic a bit and see if there's such a command as to 'undelete' accidentally formatted partitions. W/ PM8, you could do that just fine.
