I just got a new HD, IBM 14Gb 7200rpm. I decided that I wanted a big chunk
for my win audio stuff (I know, windows sucks, but it has amazing audio
progs for it!!), and a small one for Mandrake Linux 6.1. Here's what I did:
I ran Partition Magic 4.0 (Win98) made a big 11.5Gb part as FAT32 for win
progs, files and etc., and left 2.5Gb free space. Then I ran the Mandrake
install and got to Disk Druid. The strange thing is, that it named my
drives "hda", and "hdc", instead of "hda" and "hdb"!! So I thought, ok
maybe this is the way it's supposed to be. I put a 128Mb part for swap on
the free space, then I tried to make a root "/" partition of 1Gb, but it
said "Insufficient memory" and wouldn't let me do the full 1Gb! Here's what
I put in when I clicked "ADD":
--------------------------------------------------
Mount: /
size: 1000 Type: Linux Native
Grow to fill?:[](no)
hda[](no)
hdc[*](yes)
--------------------------------------------------
I kept lowering the size, but the lowest I could do was 1Mb, which is WAY
WAY less than I have! So I thought maybe I need to make a "/home" part
first, so I did, same size (1Gb), same settings as above, and it made it, no
probs at all!! So how do I get this root put on? Please help!!
Also, I deleted the parts I made in Disk Druid and then tried Fdisk, but it
says something like this:
--------------------------------------------------
This drive excedes 1024 cylinders it may cause problems with booting, and
other OS's
--------------------------------------------------
????????????????????????????
THANKS For any help!!!!
