Joe, don't despair.
Can we start from the beginning.
Could you tell us please,
a) how many hard drive, there size, and what's on them by way of partitions.
so some sort of partition table would be useful.
b) what partition tools you have besides mandrake cd1, if any.
c) I cannot remember which mandrake version, remind me.
d) Is this a single install of mandrake with windblows. or, on it's own.
e) Any particular hardware that you think may be difficult, ie some usb
devices can be awkward. Some makes of hard drives too.
we ought to know what mobo,processor,memory, etc you have.
f) You keep mentioning text installs , is your mouse not being recognised ?
if so what make ?
