About 3 Gig's. But I intend to wipe out the XP partition and use the whole 6 Gig's for gOS.

I used to have XP on this box until the thing refused to book being stuck in a perpetual bluescreen loop on startup. I cannot get past the partitions formatting in the install. The partition organizer sees the complete drive with the XP section and the free space. I'm trying to go with the default suggestions but it refuses to format. Sits at 5% for about 20 mintues and then fails. What is the correct file system to use for this thing? There are about ten different options including Fat16, 32, NTFS etc. Which is the correct one for gOS? How do you create a root for it. When I try to do it maually it keeps telling me I need to set up a root partition but the partition manager does not seem to allow this to be done. What am I doing wrong here? - Peter. -- Reach out and share life, care for others, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
