Hi again: OK, I’ve downloaded the ISO files from one of the mirrors of the Mandrake Linux site, and I checked the three files with the md5sum file and everything is OK. Then I burned the three files and restart my computer with the CD that has the first Mandrake Linux file and guess what?... My computer didn’t boot from the CD. I know that my computer can boot from a CD, but it doesn’t want to boot from a CD that has an ISO file.
So, what do I have to do? The file has the name: Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso What do I have to do? Do I have to change the name? Do I have to change the extension? Do I have to buy a new computer? ☺ Well, that’s the first question, now the second one. I have a HD with the following partition: C:\ File System: FAT32 Size: 15.5 GB Free Space: 6.86 GB D:\ File System: NTFS Size: 40.2 GB Free Space: 19.8 GB OK, that is just one hard disk with two partitions :). I've read somewhere that I can't do a new partition in a NTFS file system because I'm going to loose all my information :( and I really don't want this to happen. So, can I do a partition JUST in the C:\ partition? I really don't understand how partitions work, but if I can do a new partition in the C:\ partition... Do I have enough space (Free Space: 6.68 GB) to do a partition for Mandrake? Well, that is all; I hope I can do a new partition, because I will not format my computer. I read that there is a program called Partition Magic... does this program really works? Once again I will not format my computer, not because I don't want, but because I can't... My computer is the server of my house; there are 5 more computers connected to it. Nobody here knows how to set up a server, so if I have to format my computer everybody here will hate me, and will start making plans of how to kill me :). OK, CYA guys and TIA. Antonio R.
