4.b. Designing a Partitioning Scheme
Default Partitioning Scheme
If you are not interested in drawing up a partitioning scheme for your
system, you can use the partitioning scheme we use throughout this book:
Partition Filesystem Size Description
/dev/hda1 ext2 32M Boot partition
/dev/hda2 (swap) 512M Swap partition
/dev/hda3 ext3 Rest of the disk Root partition
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#fdisk>
So, I want something like:
Partition Filesystem Size Description
/dev/hda1 ext2 32M Boot partition
/dev/hda2 (swap) 512M Swap partition
/dev/hda3 ext3 ??? Root partition
/dev/hda4 fat32
I'm concerned about overwriting the windows partition, or mucking up
the dual-boot bootloader.
There are directions at
<http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_boot#Single_Drive_Install_.28Windows_Pre-Installed.29>,
but I'd like to have it all worked out ahead of time for my own sake.
Perhaps I don't even need to format anything?

I also want to leave grub alone, yes? Well, I want to switch it from
fedora to gentoo, somehow. But, I want to leave the windows part alone.
Hmm.
thanks,

Hi.
You don't have to format your windows partition, you don't even toch it.
Just format /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
and /dev/hda2 and install gentoo on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 as
described in the handbook.
When gentoo is installed completely you just edit grub.conf and you are
fine:
Add
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
and you can boot into Windows.
