Hi again:
	I was able to find get my /home partition but in the process windows won't 
boot, everything locks up, even with a win boot disk and win98 cdrom.  The 
mandrake 8.1 cd boots fine.  I spent the couple of hours and reinstalled 
mandrake on my lost / partition and everything works fine, except windows-it 
won't boot out of lilo or bootdisk.  I can see the partition fine in linux.
Here is fdisk output:
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2432 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1            51       942   7164990    c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3           945      2432  11952360    5  Extended

/dev/hda7          1719      2432   5735173+  83  Linux      /home   (saved)

My first 50 sectors was my hybernation partition which I don't care about.
Anyway, the important stuff is working, and I have my data.  Thanks.  Jon
