To boot, as a general rule, your operating system must be on one of your hard disk's primary partitions. You're allowed four of these and no more, and an extended partition counts as one of them. You cannot boot from a logical drive. In principle, you could get around this with a boot manager program which fed a doctored master boot record image to the operating system, but it sounds like more work than it's worth. Give Linux its own partition or two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Shupp California State University, Northridge Graduate Student, Dept. of Anthropology http://www.csun.edu/~ms44278/index.htm
