It can be done much easier, just put the linux boot disk (from any distribution) into the floppy, reboot the system, then mount the hard disk from the root's shell and the whole HD is yours without using any other OS !!!

But it slows down your computer... Wojtek Zabolotny [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
