I bought a new system a few weeks ago and I wanted to move my gentoo installation from my old PC and install Win2k. The hd is a 80gb (Western Digital), so I partitioned like this: 30GB Linux (XFS( 2GB swap 30GB Win2k (NTFS) Rest of the disk: Scratch partition (currently: another gentoo instalation - XFS) (extended partition) The partitions where phisically ordered that way. Win2k didn't like it. I wouldn't boot after the first reboot during install. I ended up using the first 30GB partition for win2k and the second one for Linux. No problem at all. So, try to place your win2k partition near the "start" of the disk. BTW, to move my installed linux to the new system I used the method I described in my previous email (gentoo boot CD), but instead of using the LAN, I installed both disks on the same system. Just another $0.02 ;) Federico Voges Socio gerente Intrasoft Malabia 2137 14 A (1425) Buenos Aires Argentina Te/Fax: 54-11-4833-5182 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.intrasoft.com.ar -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.0 iQA/AwUBPtZbRxRcJRaVKt4XEQJ8EACdGhF3iZO0ul3fvQhNSJGsXsTyzn4AoOZ4 +Y7AmAwVhXPYt5zUlSKQYhGw =1Hv8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
