FreeHeel writes "A second team of rocketeers competing for the $10 million Ansari X Prize, a contest for privately funded suborbital space flight, has officially announced the first launch date for its manned rocket. The da Vinci Project, led by Brian Feeney of Toronto, Ontario, said Thursday the group plans to loft its Wild Fire Mark VI spacecraft on Oct. 2, just days after the planned launch of another X Prize contender, the U.S-based SpaceShipOne. The balloon-launched Wild Fire event will be followed by a second launch within two weeks to snag the X Prize purse, according to the plan."

Fizzleboink writes "Space.com reports that with the upcoming January 1, 2005 deadline for the $10 million Ansari X Prize, Rutan and his team have given their official 60 day notice. Brian Feeney, leader of the Canadian da Vinci Project also reported today that his team is rolling out on August 5 with the balloon-lofted Wild Fire rocket."

Ryan Jester needs assistance with the following problem: "I went out and bought a 13gb drive and now I'm kicking myself. My drive configuration is: Win 98 in the primary and NT in the first logical. And yes, I'm putting Linux before the 1024th cyl. Seems when I try and install Linux and get to the Disk Druid part I can't see any of my logical partitions in my extended partition..." There's more. Click below to read on. "...My disk configuration is 2gb primary and the rest one big extended (bigger than 8gb obviously). In Fdisk it will show the extended partition as "type f" or a Win 95 Extended (LBA), Disk Druid doesnt know what the hell it is. Once I shrink it down to 8gb with PM 4.0 then change the type back to 5 (regular extended partition) in Fdisk..I'm then able to see all my logical partions. So any fix or am I SOL and just make another primary partition and reconfig the whole drive."

Is the solution to this one fairly obvious? Or are there deeper issues?
