Dear all,
I have a 20GB hard disk with a 5GB primary partition(C
drive, DOS partition) and 15GB logical partition(D
drive, extended DOS partition). The C drive has WinME
and all application softwares and has 3.74 GB of free
space. The D drive has all my data and has 9.84 GB of
free space. I want to install Linux on this box.
i want to have a dual boot system and donot want
to lose any existing data. can anyone please suggest
how do i repartition my disk. ive read a few articles
and HOWTOs on this and frm what i gather is that a
dual boot system should look like this:
1)Windows partion (FAT32)
2)Linux partition
3)Swap partition
4)Partition for data accesible from Windows
and Linux(FAT32)
now these articles explained this
repartitioning when their original disk had a single
primary dos partition. so my problem is how do i
repartition my disk which has a primary and a logical
partition?
also i have 128MB RAM. so what should be the size
of my Swap partition?
thanks for your help .
AK.
