Hi Felix: The only time I ever got Linux to install on a drive that already had an OS, it only installed when I gave it a primary partition. And that is definitely not my first choice. I have been running Dos, Win and OS/2 together since W95. At first I had DOS and Win95 on primary, FAT16, C: and everything else on logicals. W2K was too big for that so I put it on a logical after whatever versions of OS/2 I had. Even tho modern OS/2 may not need to be under 1024 I still keep them up front. Typically, W4 and eCS each at 800M. And DOS is now the only OS on C:, the only primary. All my desktops have either W2K or WXP on a logical. My laptop has both. And none of my desktops have any LVM. All my HDDs are front panel plug-in and LVM makes it difficult to swap drives; they have to be mounted. With that as a starting point can I put Linux on a logical(s)?
