I wanted to thank everyone for their helpful suggestions and pose some related questions: I tried to install XP in my fat32 partition, but it refused to install there. Does XP want to be the first partition on a disk (starting from cylinder 0)? Will I have to delete my / partition and re-install mandrake after XP? or...
Is there anyway for me to move my mandrake partitions without losing data, and if so how? I thought I remembered reading that diskdrake could do something like this (when resizing), but do not see any options for moving partitions. Again, TIA.
