You don't need the primary partition with Linux. You can make one extended partition that fills the disk and then put all the logical partitions in there for /, /home, swap, etc. Only Windows requires a primary partition, and it needs to be bootable. Linux doesn't even need the boot flag. Cofion, Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
