hi!
I am Suvra kanta Roy,a 2nd year Computer sci. Engg. student of CET,Bhubaneswar.My
problem is related to a partition that I am not able to recognise.Ihave Mandrake linux
& win-XP running in my PC.But I want 2 install Red hat linux also.I've 4 partitions
of my hard disk made by the technician before I bought it.I know that th mandrake
Linus takes about 5gb of space but there are 2 patrtitions of almost the same size
i.e. 5.xx Gb.How do I know which is the redundant one,the partition table put up to
me when i try installing Red Hat linux is as follows(I have ony 1 hard disk):
start end
hda1 --- 26717 --- vfat --- 1 3406
hda2 --- 11445 --- extended-- 3407 4865
hda5 --- 5499 --- ext3 --- 3407 4107
hda6 --- 243 --- swap --- 4108 4138
hda7 --- 5703 --- ext3 --- 4139 4865
PLease tell me how can I know that which hda(i.e.hda5 or hda7)is the one which
consists of mandrake & which is empty.Please help me quickly as I really need to get
the job done soon.
Thanks,
Suvra Kanta Roy
Bhubaneswar.
