I have an Averatec 5110H laptop - 1.3 GHZ Centrino, Intel 855x graphics
card, 512MB RAM, 40 GB HD, Intel 2100 integrated wireless - that I have
been trying to install Mandrake on. During the install process I could
only get DiskDrake to resize my windows partition down to 34GB. I had
defragmented thoroughly, turning of hibernate mode and virtual memory,
and there was only about 8 Gb of data on the drive but it wouldn't let
me shrink Windows down any smaller. I've tried to reinstall both 9.2 and
10 with the same results Is there another tool I can use to resize
Windows without losing the data? Is there something else I need to turn
off when I defrag?
Also, I'm having problems loading X properly. I couldn't get X to run at
all under 10.0. And for some reason in 9.2, when I set my monitor
resolution as a Flat Panel Display 1024 x 768 the edges of the desktop
extend beyond the montor display. In other words, I can't see the
perimeter of the desktop, just the center. Any idea why this would be
happening?
Any input is appreciated.
