Hi all,
I was so happy yesterday when I found a copy of Mandrake's Linux for
Windows. So all excitedly i bought it and went home to install it. And
that's when I ran into trouble.
Here's the current setup.
I have two harddrives A and B (that's not the drive's names).
A (11 Gigs) has two partitions in it: 1. Win for 2 Gigs
2. Win for 4 Gigs
B (13 Gigs) has four patitions in it: 1. Linux Swap
2. Linux
3. Linux
4. Linux
When I tried to install Mandrake yesterday, I asked it to put it on the
second partition of the A drive, but it came back and said I didn't have
enough room. I have over 5 Gigs left. I just cannot be out of space. I'm
thinking it's the Windows limit on showing partitions over 4 Gigs.
This brings me to my questions:
1. Is there a way to make Windows recognize partitions over 4 Gigs?
2. What's the best way of installing Linux for Win considering this setup?
I would like to have it so that I can have Windows and Linux that sit on
the same boot, but also have the option of getting into Linux *without*
windows.
Is this asking too much, or someone thinks it's doable?
Thanks in advance!
Lilly
