I've recently installed Mandrake 8.1 on an old 350mhz machine I had sitting around. Since then I've really enjoyed playing with all of it's features, it's a great OS for me specifically as a CompSci major and can finally play on the linux end of our dual boot machines at school :)
Since last weekend when I installed it I've even gone as far as getting my first network ever "up" (well I can ping back and forth from my Linux box to my Win box and can FTP/Telnet to my Linux box, cool regardless and semi-painless). I want to install MD 8.1 on my new PC (Athlon XP 1700+, PCChips 830LR board, nVidia GForce video card, etc.). When I put the discs in everything is peachy, the only problem is that my "automatic options" for the partitioning setup doesn't find my Windows OS and doesn't give the option to "install on extra space on Windows hard drive" or whatever, which is what I'd like so as to not loose any information in Winderz. I'm running Win2K Pro, and curious if there is anything I can do to get the installer to recognize it? Thanks ahead for the help, take care! Nick
